Abstract:

Dedicated bus facilities are being installed across the country with many jurisdictions allowing cyclists to use these facilities. Known as shared-bus bike lanes (SBBLs), these facilities are built with two, often opposing, goals in mind: (1) provide a high-speed travel lane for buses and (2) provide a safe travel lane for cyclists. Using video observation and survey data, the aim of this study is to analyze cyclist safety on SBBLs as a function of geometric configuration, bus frequency, and level of service. The safety of cyclins on SBBLs will be compared with separated bike facilities with adjacent bus routes.
