Chapter 3: Recommendations 3-1

Aberdeen Bicycle Transportation Plan 2011

Overview & MethodologyThe recommended bicycle network (page 3-5) represents a connected system that will allow transporta-tion and recreation-based bicycle travel throughout Aberdeen. The recommended network is composed of numerous types of on-street and off-street bicycle facilities that serve to connect people and neighbor-hoods to local destinations. This chapter contains descriptions of the bicycle facility types and an overall map of key recommendations.

Gap Analysis

The recommended bicycle network builds on a key principle that bicyclists (both current bicyclists and potential future bicyclists) have a range of skill levels. Type “C” bicyclists are beginners, often seniors and children. Type “B” bicyclists are intermediate level, typically occasional commuters and recreational cyclists. Type “A” bicyclists are experienced, regular commuters and recreational cyclists who are com-fortable sharing the road with motor vehicles. These groups are not always exclusive – some elite level athletes still like to ride on shared-use paths with their families, and recreational bicyclists will sometimes use their bicycles for utilitarian travel. Most importantly, the majority of the population falls in the “Type B” or “Type C” category. This Plan seeks to accommodate all current and future users of the system.

Chapter 3: Recommendations3-2

2011 Aberdeen Bicycle Transportation Plan

Type “A” bicyclists are experienced, regular commuters and recreational cyclists who are comfortable sharing the road with motor vehicles.

Type “C” bicyclists are beginners, often seniors and children.

Type “B” bicyclists are intermediate level, typically occasional commuters and recreational cyclists.



Recommended Bicycle Facility NetworkAccording to North Carolina State Law, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists and are allowed to ride on all roads in Aberdeen. Modifi cations to roadways in Aberdeen as well as the addition of off-street pathways, will make bicycling a safer and more viable form of transportation. The key facility types for this plan are shared-lane markings (sharrows), bicycle lanes, paved shoulders, multi-use greenways, multi-use sidepaths and bicycle parking. These facilities should be included in all new roadway design and roadway reconstruction/widening projects in the Town of Aberdeen, especially as they are recommended in the Map 3.1 of this Plan. Bike route signage may be considered for any of the six bicycle facilities. Below are brief descriptions of six types of bicycle facilities recommended in Aberdeen (for more about bicycle facility design, see Appendix A).

Bicycle Shared-Lane Markings (Sharrows)

Shared lane markings, or “sharrows,” are placed in a linear pattern along a corridor, typically every 100-250 feet and after intersec-tions. They function in several important ways:

• They make motorists more aware of the potential presence of cyclists;

• Direct cyclists to ride in the proper direction; and • Remind cyclists to ride further from parked cars to avoid

‘dooring’ collisions. (see A-3 for more on Sharrows)

Bicycle Lanes A bicycle lane is a portion of the roadway that has been designated by striping, signing, and pavement markings for the preferential and exclusive use of bicyclists. The minimum width for a bicycle lane is four feet; fi ve- and six-foot bicycle lanes are typical for collector and arterial roads. There are some opportunities for bicycle lanes in Aberdeen in the long term when roadways are widened and curb and gutter are added. As a general practice, any local roadway that is widened should incorporate bicycle lanes, with consideration for speed limit reductions.

Paved Shoulders Paved shoulders are the part of a road-way which is contiguous and on the same level as the regularly traveled portion of the roadway. There is no minimum width for paved shoulders; however a width of at least four feet is preferred. Ideally, paved shoulders should be included in the construction of new roadways and/or the upgrade of existing roadways, especially where there is a need to more safely accommodate bicycles. Recre-ational bicycling is very common across this region of the Triangle. Most rural roadways in their existing confi guration, either feature no shoulder or only a 1-2 foot paved shoulder which is not ad-equate for bicyclists. Roadways in which paved shoulders should be added or widened to a minimum of four feet are shown on Map 3.1. In cases where curb and gutter is added to roadways where paved shoulders are recommended, bicycle lanes should replace paved shoulders. Current two-lane roads that would still benefi t from short-term paved shoulder widening include: Saunders Blvd, Roseland Rd, Pinehurst St, Bethesda Rd and Johnson St (see A-7 for more on Paved Shoulders)

Multi-Use Trails (a.k.a. Greenways)

A greenway is defi ned as a linear corridor of land that can be either natural, such as rivers and streams, or man-made, such as utility corridors or abandoned railroad beds. Many greenways contain trails that can be designed to accommodate a variety of trail users, including bicyclists, walkers, hikers, joggers, skaters, horseback riders, and those confi ned to wheelchairs (hence, the term ‘multi-use trail’). Greenway corridors can also serve environmental purposes, protecting forests and water quality, and offering ample opportunities for environmental education. Greenway trails in Ab-erdeen should be integrated with and serve as an off-road extension of the on-road bicycle network.

This is a planning level of analysis for trails. Trails can be con-structed of many different materials, however, for trails that serve the purpose of bicycle transportation, hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete are recommended. Each trail project will also require close coordination with nearby property owners. Design features such as landscaped screening, fencing, and other treatments should be considered to help ensure privacy where desired.

Multi-Use SidePaths

In order to best serve different types of bicyclists (see page 3-2) multi-use trails located adjacent to roadways (middle photo to the left) should not prohibit the provision of adequate on-road bicycle facilities (such as paved shoulders or bicycle lanes). Furthermore, multi-use trails next to roadways are most appropriate in corridors with few driveways and intersections and should be at least 10’ wide.

Multi-use trails are the most highly desired facility types identifi ed during this planning process and the pedestrian planning process (2011). This is common across the State of North Carolina and the United States as a whole. Families and novice bicyclists are most comfortable in an off-road situation. Therefore, the multi-use trail network is a very integral part of the overall bicycle network, and it’s development should be a priority of the Town.

Bicycle Parking

This plan recommends adding bicycle racks to destinations throughout town, including Downtown Aberdeen, at parks, schools, the library, post offi ce, grocery stores, shopping/employment cen-ters, and multi-family housing communities.

Bicycle parking is recommended at the following locations in Aberdeen:

• Downtown Core (near Poplar & Main) • Aberdeen Lake Park• Food Lion • Harris Teeter• Rays Mill Pond• Malcolm Blue Farm

(see A-18 for more on Bicycle Parking)

• All Schools• Wal-Mart• Town Hall• Commercial Areas• Post Offi ce
