Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (CBPP) Update
High Visibility Crosswalks with continental striping that are more visible to drivers.
Curb Extensions extend the sidewalk or curb line out into the roadway or parking lane, reducing the effective street width and crossing distance.
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) installations at uncontrolled crossings to increase driver awareness of pedestrians at crosswalks. Pedestrians can activate the flashing signal with a button.
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (aka HAWK) is an intermediate option between a flashing beacon and full pedestrian signal. It helps pedestrians safely cross higher-speed roadways by assigning right of way and providing positive stop control.
Leading Pedestrian Intervals at signals provide pedestrians with an advanced walk phase before turning vehicles. This improves the visibility of pedestrians and reduces vehicle conflicts.
Class I Multi-Use Paths can be used by both bicyclists and pedestrians and are completely separate from the roadway.
Class II Bike Lanes are lanes that are painted on the street and can sometimes include a painted buffer from vehicle lanes.
Class III Bike Routes are shared lane bikeways that are not accompanied by speed calming measures and are indicated by signage and/or bicycle stencils called ”sharrows”; they may have higher vehicle volumes and speeds than bike boulevards.
Class III+ Bike Boulevards are shared lane bikeways accompanied by traffic calming measures such as speed humps.
Class IV Separated Bikeways are on-street bikeways with vertical, physical separation from the adjacent lane; these are most common on higher-speed roadways.
