Abstract:This study investigated bicycle infrastructure design options and treatments to facilitate safe accommodation of bicyclists on high-speed roadways. The bicycle safety research literature, design guidelines from federal, state, and international highway agencies, and interviews with experts and bicyclist groups were among the information sources used. A design called “rumble-buffered” bike lane was proposed and its application to example sites was described. The treatments presented in this report can help mitigate the inherent hazards to bicyclists associated with limited separation from motor vehicles where separated facilities are infeasible.
