Overview

Course Description

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.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

List three planning considerations for the implementation of buffered bike lanes that safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the public.
Name the three key elements that need to be considered for choosing locations for buffered bike lanes.
Recall the four step process used in designing buffered bike lanes.
List three different elements that can be used to separate bike lanes from vehicular traffic.
Recall at least 2 safety features in buffered bike lane designs that enhance the operations at midblock locations and roadway intersections.
