Operational Analysis of Shared Lane Markings and Green Bike Lanes on Roadways with Speeds Greater Than 35 MPH, Summary Report.

摘要

In this project, University of North Florida researchers analyzed how shared lane markings (sharrows), wide curb lanes, standard and buffered bike lanes, and green bike lanes affected operations of bicycle facilities. Three measures of effectiveness were used in this study: lateral separation between the motor vehicle and bicyclist; the distance of bicyclist to the curb or edge of pavement; and the yielding behavior of drivers and cyclists at merge points. Vehicle speeds before, during, and after passing bicyclists were analyzed.
