A.4.8. <strong>Bicycle</strong> Routes/<strong>Bicycle</strong> Boulevards at Local Intersections – Curb Bulb-outs<br />
<strong>and</strong> High-Visibility Crosswalks<br />
Design Summary<br />
Design varies; see below <strong>and</strong> following pages for<br />
additional discussion.<br />
Design Example<br />
Curb Bulb-outs <strong>and</strong> High-Visibility Crosswalks<br />
Discussion<br />
This treatment is appropriate for <strong>Bicycle</strong> Boulevards<br />
or bicycle routes near activity centers that may<br />
generate large amounts <strong>of</strong> pedestrian activity such<br />
as schools or commercial areas. The bulb-outs<br />
should only extend across the parking lane <strong>and</strong><br />
should not obstruct bicyclists’ path <strong>of</strong> travel or the<br />
travel lane. This treatment may be combined with a<br />
stop sign on the cross street if necessary.<br />
Advantages:<br />
• Traffic calming device<br />
Disadvantages:<br />
• May impact on-street parking<br />
• Moderate cost (approx. $5,000-$15,000 per<br />
intersection)<br />
• May impact bus/truck turning movements<br />
• May impact emergency vehicles<br />
