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 />

<strong>Pedestrian</strong> Facilities<br />
