• Abstract:
  In this project, University of North Florida ; researchers analyzed how shared lane markings ; (sharrows), wide curb lanes, standard and ; buffered bike lanes, and green bike lanes affected ; operations of bicycle facilities. Three measures ; of effectiveness were used in this study: lateral ; separation between the motor vehicle and ; bicyclist; the distance of bicyclist to the curb ; or edge of pavement; and the yielding behavior ; of drivers and cyclists at merge points. Vehicle ; speeds before, during, and after passing bicyclists ; were analyzed. This project built upon a previous ; study for the Florida Department of Transportation ; (FDOT), Operational and Safety Impacts of ; Restriping Inside Lanes of Urban Multi-lane Curbed ; Roadways to 11 Feet or Less to Create Wider ; Outside Curb Lanes for Bicyclists (FDOT research ; project BDK82-977-01).
