Objectives:
Upon completion of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Describe where and when it might be appropriate to restripe existing roadways to accommodate bicycles.
- Explain what techniques for restriping are available to the designer.
Pre-Instruction:
|
Components |
Activities |
|
Motivation |
Have the students present their lists of roadways where bicycle traffic might be inappropriate. Have the students describe why bicycle traffic would not be acceptable at these locations. Have the students consider what changes might be made in order to accommodate bicycles. |
|
Objectives |
Present and explain the two lesson goals listed above (V-20-1). |
Information Presentation:

Activities |
|
Information Sequence |
Outline the presentation of the lecture (V-20-2). |
|
Information |
Discuss where and when it might be appropriate to restripe existing roadways to accommodate bicycles. Review the general design principles related to the restriping of vehicular traffic lanes to accommodate bicycles (V-20-3). |
|
Example(s) |
Show examples (e.g., slides, videotape) of the different types of restriped traffic lanes cited in the text. |

Exercise |
Ask the students to complete the exercise at the end of Lesson 20 in their workbooks. This exercise is reprinted below for your convenience. 20.10 Exercise |
Lesson Objective:
- Describe where and when it might be appropriate to restripe existing roadways
- Explain techniques for restriping existing roadways
Lesson Outline:
- Where and when to restripe existing roadways
- Design principles related to restriping
Lane Restriping Design Principles:
- Reduce lane widths
- Reduce number of vehicle travel lanes
- Reconsider the need for parking
- Reallocate lane space
Lesson Summary:
- There are many ways to restripe existing roadways to accommodate bicycles
- The specific design strategies to do this involve a redesign of the highway cross-section in terms of space allocation for specific user groups
