| description abstract | The “single file” and “side-by-side” travel characteristics of bicyclists and pedestrians should be considered for the determination of stopping sight distances, horizontal sightline offsets, and minimum lengths of vertical curves for bike paths. This paper describes these unique travel behaviors and classifies them into two cases (Case I and Case II) for geometric design. It presents a set of new design equations and charts that consider these two design cases and introduces design methods to supplement current AASHTO standards and guidelines. The paper then provides a practical procedure for using the new charts and equations for design of bike paths. It is recommended that the new analytical means of evaluating the effect of side-by-side riding on geometric design of bike paths should be included in the revision of the | |
