Abstract:

The City of Portland has over 100 miles of bicycle lanes; most were installed within the last decade. As a result of this and other factors, many more residents are riding bicycles for all types of trips. However, motorists are often unaware that they must yield to cyclists when crossing a bicycle lane. As a result, many cyclists worry about the safety of these crossing areas. Many European cities use colored markings at bicycle-motor vehicle crossings to reduce conflicts. Thus far, American cities have not used this technique. To determine whether such colored markings help improve safety at bicycle-motor vehicle crossings, the City of Portland has been experimenting with blue pavement markings to delineate selected conflict areas. The University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center (UNCHSRC)- under contract to the Federal Highway Administration- analyzed the project data. This report presents conclusions and recommendations. References.
