Improving safety for people biking through signalized intersections can benefit other users—and can require trade-offs. Also drawing from chapter 4 of the Guide, this module addresses the specific opportunities to provide safe, comfortable, and predictable intersections using geometric and signal design strategies. 

This module is designed for both planners and engineers interested in learning about combining signal timing strategies with geometric design tools to create bikeable intersections. The focus is on creating bikeable connections at signalized intersections, but this module is directly applicable to designing safer signalized intersections overall.

This event is part of a series of members-only trainings on the Urban Bikeway Design Guide. We invite anyone who works at a NACTO member city or transit agency to attend the series. Those working on planning, designing, and implementing bikeway networks should consider attending the full series.  

Get updates about and sign up for trainings through NACTO’s community platform. If you are not already in the platform, simply follow the link below to register for an account, and sign up for a training. If you work for a NACTO member agency, you will be approved within two business days (so don’t sign up the morning of the training!). 

This training is made possible thanks in part to support from Alta Planning + Design, Fehr & Peers, and T.Y. Lin International.
