City of Oxnard | Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan A.3 Design of Bicycle Lanes (Class II) Bicycle lanes or Class II bicycle facilities (Caltrans designation) are defined as a portion of the roadway that has been designated by striping, signage, and pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use of bicyclists. Bicycle lanes are generally found on major arterial and collector roadways in Oxnard and are 5 to 8 feet wide. Bicycle lanes can be found in a large variety of configurations. Bicycle lanes provide bicyclists with their own space on the roadway and enable them to ride at their preferred speed without interference from prevailing traffic conditions. Bicycle lanes facilitate predictable behavior and movements between bicyclists and motorists. Bicyclists may leave the bicycle lane to pass other bicyclists, make left turns, avoid obstacles or debris, merge with traffic at intersections, and to avoid conflicts with other roadway users. New Construction shall meet the preferred design guidelines, unless otherwise recommended by the City Traffic Engineer. In no case shall the recommended design be less than the City’s minimum standard or an adopted Federal or State standard. A.3.1. Required Design Guidelines A.3.1.1. Width Varies depending on roadway configuration; the following pages contain specific design examples. The following is a quick summary: • 3.3.1 Bicycle Lanes Next to On-Street Parallel Parking: 5' Min; 7' Preferred • 3.3.2 Bicycle Lanes with No On-Street Parking: 5' Min; 8' Preferred • 3.3.3 Bicycle Lanes at Channelized Intersection with Right Turn pocket: 4' Min, 5’ Preferred A.3.1.2. Striping Line separating vehicle lane from bicycle lane: 6 inches solid white Line separating bicycle lane from parking lane: 4 inches solid white Dashed white stripe when: • Vehicle merging area approximately 50 feet to 200 feet. Solid 6” line may be considered at the discretion of the City Traffic Engineer. • Delineating a conflict area within the intersection and only to the extent of the conflict area, unless otherwise directed by the City Traffic Engineer.

Appendix A | Design Guidelines A.3.1.3. Signing Use R81 (CA) Bike Lane Sign at: • Beginning of Bicycle Lane • At far side of all arterial crossings • At major changes in direction • At intervals not to exceed ½ mile • See Section 1.9.1 for additional information on bicycle signage. R81 (CA) Sign Bike Lane Sign A.3.1.4. Pavement Markings Pavement markings for bicycle lanes shall be the ‘BIKE LANE’ stencil or graphic representation of a bicyclist with directional arrow (preferred) to be used at: • Beginning of Bicycle Lane • Far side of all multi-use path (Class I) crossings • At far side of all arterial crossings • At major changes in direction • At intervals not to exceed ½ mile • At beginning of bicycle lane pockets at approach to intersection.
