City of Oxnard | Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan A.7.2. Bicycle Lanes at Double Right Turn Intersections Design Summary Width: Bicycle Lane pocket should have a minimum width of 4’ with 5’ preferred. Discussion Merging across two lanes exceeds the comfort zone of most bicyclists. Double right turn lanes or an inside through/right combination lane should be avoided on routes with heavy bicycle use. To prevent vehicles in the outside right turn lane from turning into a bicyclist it is important to encourage proper lane positioning for the bicyclist. This can be accomplished by providing either a bicycle lane to the left of the outside turn lane with a bicycle lane. This design positions bicyclists using a bicycle lane to the outside of a double right-turn lane. This treatment should only be considered at locations where the right most turn lane is a pocket at the intersection. In this instance, the bicyclist would only have to merge across one lane of traffic to reach the bicycle lane. Colored bicycle lanes can also help distinguish the bicycle lane in the merging area. Under no circumstances should the bicyclist be expected to merge across two lanes of traffic to continue straight though an intersection. See following page for additional discussion.

Appendix A | Design Guidelines Additional Discussion - Bicycle Lanes at Double Right Turn Intersections The use of double-turn lanes should be discouraged because of the difficulties they present for pedestrians and bicyclists. Existing double-turn lanes should be studied and converted to single-turn lanes, unless found to be absolutely necessary for traffic operations. In situations where the double-turn lane cannot be avoided, the options on the previous page can be used to better accommodate bicyclists. From California MUTCD: “A dashed line across the right-turn-only lane should not be used on extremely long lanes, or where there are double right-turn-only lanes. For these types of intersections, all striping should be dropped to permit judgment by the bicyclists to prevail.” Advantages of Bicycle Treatments at Double Right Turn Lanes • Aids in correct positioning of bicyclists at intersections with a double right turn lanes. Bicyclists should be able to travel straight through an intersection without vehicles turning through their path. • Encourages motorists to yield to bicyclists when using the outside right turn lane. • Reduces motor vehicle speed within the right turn lanes. Disadvantages / potential hazards • Many bicyclists may be uncomfortable with double right turn lanes regardless of the treatment. • Not suitable for intersections with high bicycle volumes – the second right turn lane should be eliminated in such cases.
