Abstract:This research studied Oregon drivers’ and cyclists’ conceivability of and receptivity to bike turnouts (auxiliary bike lanes). The driver and cyclist survey consisted of 32 and 35 questions, respectively, all of which were fixed choice, except for 3 open-ended response questions. The surveys were distributed online to 612 Oregon residents, made up of 305 licensed drivers and 307 active cyclists. The results from both surveys revealed overwhelming receptivity to implementing bike turnouts in Oregon. On average, the perceived potential impacts on safety and user comfort were reported to have the greatest degree of effectiveness. Further, these discrete findings were validated by drivers’ and cyclists’ open-ended responses following the formal education of bike turnouts. Collectively, these findings confirm the viability of bike turnouts as they are perceived to be an effective solution for curves on two-lane roads with limited visibility and constricted ROW.
