Case Study

Wyman Park Bike Box, Baltimore, MD

City: Baltimore
State: MD
Associated Publication: Urban Bikeway Design Guide

The Wyman Park Bike Box, at the intersection of Wyman Park Drive, Sission Street, and Keswick Drive in Baltimore, was installed to improve safety for bicyclists.  Originally installed as a pocket lane with the Collegetown Bike Network from the Jones Falls Trail, the pocket lane created mid-intersection conflicts between cyclists and motorists.  By providing the bike box, the city created a right turn only for vehicles and prioritized bicycle traffic going straight through the intersection on Wyman Park Drive or making a left onto Keswick Drive on the Hampden Bike Route. The opportunity to install the bike box came as a result of a planned street resufacing. The bike box will be painted green in Spring 2011.
