  The focus of this report is to develop policy recommendations guidelines, and policies for bicycle and pedestrian use of freeways expressways, tunnels, and toll bridges in California. Results from a survey and literature search are first presented. This is followed by an analysis of collision patterns for bicycles, freeway bicycles, and pedestrian collisions. The safety record of bicycles on bridges and in tunnels is then examined. A multivariate regression analysis of freeways open to bicycles and all freeway collision is described.
