Studies of colored bike lane applications in Portland, <br /> Oregon' have shown that the colored bike lanes have a positive effect in the <br /> number of motorists yielding to bicyclists and bicyclists following the path <br /> marked by the colored bike lanes. On-the downside, it was also reported that <br /> bicyclists were less vigilant while traveling along the colored bike lanes, perhaps <br /> signifying an increased 'false' sense of security. Colored bike lanes are being <br /> used by many jurisdictions but have not, as yet, been officially endorsed by a <br /> national design manual or standards (such as the MUTCD). An example <br /> installation is shown in Figure 5. <br /> Figure 5: Colored bike lane, Cambridge, MA <br /> t , S r ...r <br /> ' t € <br /> st <br /> ' • .e., . j <br /> I t1 1 I f {, h <br /> 3.f` ,. -K tz/ 4 , <br /> s it i " ,1.
