The \u201cUnderstanding Bicycle Transportation\u201d workshop is an opportunity for Planners, Engineers, Landscape Architects and others involved in transportation planning, project development, design, project management, programming, landscape architecture, construction, local assistance, traffic operations, encroachment permits and maintenance to increase their knowledge and skills in the following areas:<\/p>\n
LEARNING OBJECTIVE<\/p>\n
By the end of the workshop, attendees are able to more fully understand and apply guidance found in the State or AASHTO Highway Design Manuals, State or Local Project Development Procedures, State and Federal\u00a0MUTCD<\/a>\u00a0(Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), and other State and Local guidance documents, and implement State \u201cComplete Streets\u201d policies.<\/p>\n Describes key state and federal policies relating to bicycle transportation and access as well the critical need to go beyond minimum bikeway standards to support the safety and convenience of bicycling.<\/p>\n see Section 1 slides<\/a><\/p>\n Describes the three fundamental individual behaviors behaviors: driver, edge and pedestrian.\u00a0 Knowledge of these behaviors is essential to understanding how the design and operation of streets and bikeways affect bicyclists.<\/p>\n see Section 2 slides<\/a><\/p>\n Most professionals are familiar with edge and ped behavior but may not be as familiar with bicycle driver behavior and its long heritage in law in the United States, and its importance to bicycle transportation on the existing road network.<\/p>\n see Section 3 slides<\/a><\/p>\n Not all behaviors in the spectrum are crash risk neutral at driveways and intersections – crossing conflict points – where most crashes occur, and this section describes the relative risks of each behavior in terms of visibility and movements.<\/p>\n see Section 4 slides<\/a><\/p>\n This section introduces the 6Es of bicycling support and focuses on the Equality (laws), Engineering and Evaluation, Es that affect transportation professionals in their work to support bicycling.<\/p>\n This subsection introduces the 6Es, covers law and engineering basics, delves into CA traffic control and design requirements, gives an overview of bike lane standards, and also introduces shared lane markings (sharrows).<\/p>\n see Section 5.1 slides<\/a><\/p>\n This subsection examines bike lane and sharrow designs, that must go beyond minimum standards to avoid both the door zone and close passing hazards, and covers work zones, freeways and signal detection.\u00a0 It then goes on to discuss path designs and the challenges they present to cyclists and designers, covers evaluation, and concludes with a section dedicated to non-standard facilities.<\/p>\n see Section 5.2 slides<\/a><\/p>\n Introduces the important concepts of inclusive versus divisive designs and engineering, which either include multiple behaviors, or criminalizes one behavior to support another (or others), creating divisions within the cycling community.<\/p>\n see Section 6 slides This exercise contains a series of facility photos which are exemplary of problems commonly observed in the field.\u00a0 It is designed to help the students to recognize proper\/standard features and identify improper\/non-standard features.<\/p>\n see Exercise slides<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The \u201cUnderstanding Bicycle Transportation\u201d workshop is an opportunity for Planners, Engineers, Landscape Architects and others involved in transportation planning, project development, design, project management, programming, landscape architecture, construction, local assistance, traffic operations, encroachment permits and maintenance to increase their knowledge and skills in the following areas: State and Federal goals, policies, regulations, and laws that … Continue reading Understanding Bicycle Transportation<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":226,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/207"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/207\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iamtraffic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Section 1: Key Policies\/Goals<\/h3>\n
