Pg 65-72: Implementing Bicycle Improvements at the Local Level
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.
Countermeasures_Markings, Signs, Signal: Bicycle Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System (BIKESAFE)
The Bicycle Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System is intended to provide practitioners with the latest information available for improving the safety and mobility of those who bike. The online tools provide the user with a list of possible engineering, education, or enforcement treatments to improve bicycle safety and/or mobility based on user input about a specific location.

3. INTERRUPTED 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.
6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Recommended Procedures for the "Signalized Intersections" 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.
4. PROPOSED REVISIONS TO HCM CHAPTER 9 PROCEDURES: Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Recommended Procedures for the "Signalized Intersections" 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.
Pg 91-104: Urban Bikeway Design Guide
The purpose of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide (part of the Cities for Cycling initiative) is to provide cities with state-of-the-practice solutions that can help create complete streets that are safe and enjoyable for bicyclists. The NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide is based on the experience of the best cycling cities in the world. The designs in this document were developed by cities for cities, since unique urban streets require innovative solutions.
