Ch 2, Pg 1-2: Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares (with CNU)

The ITE Recommended Practice, Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach, advances the successful use of context sensitive solutions (CSS) in the planning and design of major urban thoroughfares for walkable communities. It provides guidance and demonstrates for practitioners how CSS concepts and principles may be applied in roadway improvement projects that are consistent with their physical settings.

4. COMBINED BICYCLE FACILITIES: Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Recommended Procedures for the "Bicycles" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual

The objective of this project was to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document contains both new and revised procedures for analyzing various types of exclusive and mixed–use bicycle facilities. These procedures are recommended to determine the level of service for bicycle facilities on the basis of previous domestic and international bicycle operations research conducted to date. This document only addresses procedures for streets, roads, and intersections with designated bicycle facilities.

Pg 4-9: Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Recommended Procedures for the "Pedestrians" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual

The objective of this project is to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document describes the effects of pedestrians and bicyclists on the capacity of signalized intersections. These procedures augment the existing Highway Capacity Manual signalized intersection Level of Service procedures for locations with substantial pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic conflicting with vehicular turning movements.
