<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 />
