Abstract:Since the establishment of the Bicycle Master Plan in 2009, the City of Austin has greatly expanded its bicycle network to fulfill the population’s growing interest in cycling. The City of Austin has continuously advanced towards a more bicycle-friendly environment with the growth in the installation of protected bicycle lanes. However, issues with non-compliance have been recognized as improvements in bicycle facilities have been made. It is hypothesized that non-compliant behavior arises when cyclists are unclear of their role in the traffic system, and can be reduced by providing a built environment with clearer instructions. This study was conducted to address factors that impact cyclist non-compliant behavior. This report reviews an observational study before the installation of bicycle signals to evaluate cyclist behavior in the existing local context.
