Lesson 4: Bicycle Facility Design
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This training will assist planners and designers in learning how to apply the existing standards and how to deal with other technical issues involved. The availability of Federal, State, and local transportation funding for bicycle facilities that serve transportation and recreational users is resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of bicycling (and shared use) facilities being planned and built.
Pg 47-57: Bicycle Road Safety Audit Guidelines and Prompts Lists
Road Safety Audits (RSAs) are a formal safety examination of an existing or future roadway or off-road facility and are conducted by an independent, experienced, multidisciplinary team. The purpose of the Bicycle Road Safety Audit Guidelines and Prompt Lists is to provide transportation agencies and RSA teams with a better understanding of the safety of cyclists in the transportation system when conducting an RSA. These Guidelines present the RSA team with an overview of basic principles of the safety of cyclists and potential issues affecting cyclists.
Pg 57-60: Delivering Safe, Comfortable, and Connected Pedestrian and Bicycle Networks: A Review of International Practices
The purpose of this study was to identify noteworthy and innovative international designs, treatments, and other practices that have potential to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and access and increase walking and bicycling in the United States.
Pg 11-19: Delivering Safe, Comfortable, and Connected Pedestrian and Bicycle Networks: A Review of International Practices
The purpose of this study was to identify noteworthy and innovative international designs, treatments, and other practices that have potential to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and access and increase walking and bicycling in the United States.
Chapter 1: Why integrate bikes and transit?: Bicycle and Transit Integration: A Practical Transit Agency Guide to Bicycle Integration and Equitable Mobility
This guide includes a series of recommended practices for transit agencies interested in addressing
the growing demand for bicycle mobility and connectivity to buses and trains. The recommended practice
covers a broad range of subject matter related to bicycles and transit including bike parking near facilities,
onboarding procedures and other issues to enhance connectivity and grow ridership. Future recommended
practices will explore onboarding policies and procedures and other issues to enhance.
Chapter 7: Current State of Practice: Guidelines for Regulating Shared Micromobility
Developed for cities, by cities, this guidance outlines best practices for cities and public entities regulating and managing shared micromobility services on their streets. While many of the issues covered are applicable to all forms of shared micromobility, this document is explicitly meant to help cities establish guidelines for formal management of public-use mobility options that are not managed through traditional procurement processes (the management mechanism for most docked bike share programs in North America).
Search: Bike Parking: Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse
A crash modification factor (CMF) is a multiplicative factor used to compute the expected number of crashes after implementing a given countermeasure at a specific site. The Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse houses a Web-based database of CMFs along with supporting documentation to help transportation engineers identify the most appropriate countermeasure for their safety needs. Using this site, you can search to find CMFs or submit your own CMFs to be included in the clearinghouse.
Chapter 6: Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, 4th Edition
This guide provides information on how to accommodate bicycle travel and operations in most riding environments. It is intended to present sound guidelines that result in facilities that meet the needs of bicyclists and other highway users. Sufficient flexibility is permitted to encourage designs that are sensitive to local context and incorporate the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. However, in some sections of this guide, suggested minimum dimensions are provided.
Chapter 4: Bikes on Transit: Bicycle and Transit Integration: A Practical Transit Agency Guide to Bicycle Integration and Equitable Mobility
This guide includes a series of recommended practices for transit agencies interested in addressing
the growing demand for bicycle mobility and connectivity to buses and trains. The recommended practice
covers a broad range of subject matter related to bicycles and transit including bike parking near facilities,
onboarding procedures and other issues to enhance connectivity and grow ridership. Future recommended
practices will explore onboarding policies and procedures and other issues to enhance.
