Pg 9-35: 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.
