Design of Bicycle Facilities – Buffered Bike Lanes

SKU: RV-11358AW
Duration: 2.00 Hrs

In the past 10 years the United States has experienced an 80% increase in the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation. While in contrast, there has only been a 5% increase in the use of motor vehicles. For this reason, more and more cities are developing robust bicycle transportation networks. One of the key elements being used to improve bicycle transportation networks is the construction of buffered bike lanes. In this interactive online course, key planning and design considerations for buffered bike lanes will be reviewed. Engineers, Architects, Contractors and other professionals from the A/E industry will learn design guidelines for elements that form part of buffered bike lanes and that support their implementation, such as traffic separator options, mid-block crossings and intersection accommodations.
