At the intersection of the Channing Way Bicycle Boulevard and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, in the late 1990s, the city of Berkeley installed one of the city’s first bicycle loop detectors, as well as a legend with a right-in/right-out diverter. Thru-movement on the bicycle boulevard was banned as part of the project and left-turns for cars prohibited. By isolating the loop detector within small raised concrete curbs, the city avoided the issue of false detection and created a protected platform for cyclists to await the light change. The design deters cut-thru traffic and makes the bicycle boulevard safer for bicyclists. The use of the loop detectors has been a key facet of Berkeley’s bicycle boulevard development over the past decade.
