This resource supplements the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Bikeway Selection Guide and is intended to inform
trade-off decisions associated with bikeway selection at intersections. It discusses common performance metrics, spatial
needs of bikeways at intersections, safety and equity focused design principles, and operational traffic analysis trade-offs and
assumptions.

This document is a resource to help transportation practitioners consider and make informed decisions about tradeoffs relating to the selection of bikeway types. This report highlights linkages between the bikeway selection process and the transportation planning process. This guide presents these factors and considerations in a practical processoriented way. It draws on research where available and emphasizes engineering judgment, design flexibility, documentation, and experimentation.
TRB's NCHRP Synthesis 498: Application of Pedestrian Crossing Treatments for Streets and Highways compiles information on the state of existing practices regarding application of pedestrian crossing improvements, and does not produce new guidance. The report includes a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs) and local transportation agencies, a synthesis of current recommended practice and policy guidance, and a literature review of safety evidence for more than 25 pedestrian crossing treatments.
