Abstract:

This implementation manual is intended for local governments who want to make improvements to existing conditions that affect bicycling. Thirteen of the most typical situations or factors that impact bicycle use are considered. For each situation or factor the manual provides (as appropriate) a problem overview, a solution overview, implementation strategies, objectives, resource requirements, subtasks, a schedule, specifications, and references. The intent is to make it relatively easy and straightforward for a local public works or transportation department to identify specific problems and deal with them, generally as part of the agency's routine functions. The information provided is based on the approaches and techniques developed over the past two decades by some of the most bicycle-friendly communities and leading practitioners. The categories covered are (1) major urban streets, (2) minor urban street traffic, (3) minor street/major street crossings, (4) breaking bicycling barriers, (5) trail networks, (6) transit connections, (7) roadway bridge modifications, (8) railroad crossings, (9) traffic signals, (10) drainage grates and utility covers, (11) rural road shoulders, (12) bicycle parking, and (13) maintenance.
