StarStarStarStar

Pedestrian Islands

StarStarStarStar

Safe refuges for pedestrians crossing multilane roads, allowing them to deal with one direction of traffic at a time.

StarStarStarStar

Intersection Design

StarStarStarStar

The layout of a crossing area for multiple modes of transportation which must ensure visibility, reduce conflict points, and facilitate smooth traffic flow.

StarStarStarStar

Cycling Path Surface

StarStarStarStar

Surface on which bicycles travel, requiring smoothness for rider comfort and durability to withstand weather and usage.

StarStarStarStar

Crosswalk Design

StarStarStarStar

Marked paths where pedestrians have the right of way to cross the street. Consider visibility, accessibility, and signal timing for safety.

StarStarStarStar

Bicycle Lane Width

StarStarStarStar

Standard bike lane width allows for a bicycle to comfortably travel along a roadway, typically around 5 feet (1.5 meters), accounting for buffers from vehicular traffic.

StarStarStarStar
