Maintenance
• Create a maintenance hotline
• Inspect by bicycle
• Budget early
for maintenance

Revamping Cycle Guidelines Advanced Stop Lines (ASL’s)
• No adverse impact on traffic capacity
• Results in 25-35% accident reduction
for cyclists
• Inexpensive

No.
(the long answer: it depends)

are your last choice
Hierarchy of Solutions
(1) Traffic Reduction
(2) Traffic Calming
(3) Intersection Treatment
(4) Roadway Redistribution
(5) Segregated Facilities

Invisible Infrastructurerefers to the idea that:
• Traffic Reduction
• Traffic Calming
• …are more effective than “visible”
cycle-specific improvements.
