CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 53 Conflict markings indicate areas where traffic mixes with bike lanes. A bike signal mounted next to a standard signal in San Luis Obispo. PROTECTED INTERSECTIONS & BICYCLE SIGNALS Protected intersections may be physically protected and/or protected using signal timing. A fully separated bikeway can extend in/through the intersection or can be established with channelized bikeway treatments. These intersections typically require the use of bicycle signals to isolate bicycle movements from conflicting vehicle movements. There are various design options for protected intersections; some are more construction/material intensive than others. Additional guidance on protected intersections can be found in Caltrans DiB 89 and NACTO guides. INTERSECTION APPROACHES ideally, bike lanes should extend to intersections and continue on the other side. However, in certain situations due to limited available roadway width, bike lanes may stop before intersection approaches and may not immediately continue on the other side. in circumstances where existing lanes stop short, the appropriate traffic or intersection study should be completed to determine if lane removal/consolidation can be completed to accommodate the extension of the bike lane. New bike lanes should strive to reach the intersection in its initial design. Detailed intersection guidance can be found in NACTO design guidelines. CONFLICT MARKINGS Conflict markings are used to indicate conflict points between bicycles and vehicles. Conflict markings indicated using colored boxes or dashed lines and are typically installed at intersection approaches, driveways, and other locations where roadway conditions change. These markings are intended to increase awareness among all road users where conflicts between the modes are likely to occur. 191
