Bicycle Safety & Awareness
• Buffered Bike Laneso Door zone area accidents
can be deadly collisions
o Typically, the bike’s handle-bar hits the door, turning the front wheel to the right and sending the cyclist tumbling to the left – where the cyclist is then run over by a vehicle in the adjacent travel lane.
• Safer to locate bike lanes outside the door zone areao Increasing the space
between the parked motor vehicles and the cyclist

Bicycle Safety & Awareness
• Pavement Enhancementso The green colored pavement
enhances the visibility of a bicycle lane in places where there is potential for conflict with motor vehicles.
o The FHWA considers green pavement markings to be effective in increasing awareness of bike lane conflict areas.
o Benefits include bicyclists positioning themselves more accurately as they travel across intersections.
Many bicyclists report feeling safer on green colored pavement because motorists are more aware of potential conflicts.
