A bike box is a designated area that provides bicyclists with a safe and visible way to get ahead of queuing traffic during the red signal phase.

  • Increased visibility for bicyclist
  • Helps to eliminate right-hook conflicts with

turning vehicles

  • Pedestrians benefit from reduced vehicle

encroachment into crosswalks

An advisory Bike Lane defines a preferred space for bicyclists and motorists to

  • perate
  • n

narrow streets that would

  • therwise be a shared roadway.

With the presence of a bicyclist, opposing conflicting traffic will yield and pause in the bike lane until there is sufficient width to pass – operates much like a residential street lined with park cars.

  • Involves

education and public interaction

  • Posted speeds of 25 – 30 mph
  • Good

candidate for streets with insufficient width for dedicated bike lanes

Curb extensions (bulb-outs) extend the sidewalk area into the parking lane to reduce the effective street width

  • Reduce pedestrian crossing distance
  • Potential to reduce speeds by visually

narrowing the roadway

  • Eliminates motor vehicles parking too
