Bikeway-Crosswalk Conflicts
• Gradually bend the bikeway (3:1 angle at steepest) as it approaches the crosswalk; straighten before crossing the crosswalk.
• Raise the pedestrian crossing over the bikeway. The bike climbing ramp should be gradual (1:12 or shallower), and a 6’ flat approach area should be provided to allow bikes to stop without slipping backward.
Right Turns, and Left Turns from One-Way Streets
• Create a tighter effective corner radius, using mountable elements if necessary to accommodate truck turns.
• Install speed reduction devices, such as modular speed bumps or a mountable truck apron, inside the swept path of large vehicles or all vehicles.
• Install a median island or centerline hardening on the receiving street to prevent ‘corner cutting.’
• Raise the bikeway crossing.
• Provide a leading bike interval, protected bike phase, or protected-permissive bike phase.
Left Turns from Two-Way Streets
• Install a median refuge island or centerline hardening on approach street and receiving street to prevent ‘corner cutting.’
• Raise the bikeway crossing.
• Provide a leading bike interval, lagging left turn phase, or protected bike phase.
