Addressing Bicycle-Vehicle Conflicts with Alternate Signal Control Strategies Webinar
Date: Tuesday, October 16th, 2018 Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Cost: Free PDH: 1 There is nationwide interest in supporting sustainable and active transportation modes such as bicycling and walking due to the many benefits associated with them, including reduced congestion, lower emissions and improved health. Although the number of bicyclists is increasing, safety remains a top concern. In urban areas, a common crash type involving bicycles at intersections is the “right hook” where a right-turning vehicle collides with a through bicyclist. While geometric treatments and pavement markings have been studied, there is a lack of research on signal timing treatments to address right-hook bicycle-vehicle conflicts. This study provides broad-based recommendations on the appropriate treatment to be implemented to reduce right-hook conflicts. More detail here.
