<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oxnard</strong> | <strong>Bicycle</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Pedestrian</strong> <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
A.4.2.<br />
<strong>Bicycle</strong> Routes with Wide Outside Lane<br />
Design Summary<br />
<strong>Bicycle</strong> Lane Width:<br />
Fourteen feet (14’) minimum shared travel lane is preferred.<br />
Fifteen feet (15’) should be considered if heavy truck or bus traffic<br />
is present. <strong>Bicycle</strong> lanes should be considered on roadways with<br />
outside lanes wider than 15 feet. This treatment is found on all<br />
residential streets, collectors, <strong>and</strong> minor arterials.<br />
Sign Height:<br />
The clearance from the bottom edge <strong>of</strong> the sign to the path<br />
surface directly under the sign shall be a minimum <strong>of</strong> 8 ft. The<br />
clearance for overhead signs on shared-use paths should be<br />
adjusted when appropriate to accommodate typical<br />
maintenance vehicles.<br />
Preferred Design<br />
Discussion<br />
The wide outside lane provides adequate on-street space for the<br />
vehicle <strong>and</strong> bicycle to share the lane without requiring the<br />
vehicle to leave its lane to pass the bicyclist. This facility is<br />
frequently found with <strong>and</strong> without on-street parking.<br />
