A.4.7. <strong>Bicycle</strong> Routes/<strong>Bicycle</strong> Boulevards at Local Intersections – Stop Signs on<br />

Cross-Streets<br />

Design Summary<br />

Design varies; see below <strong>and</strong> following pages for<br />

additional discussion.<br />

Design Example<br />

Stop Signs on Cross Streets<br />

Discussion<br />

The installation <strong>of</strong> a stop sign on streets that cross a<br />

<strong>Bicycle</strong> Friendly Street or bicycle route maximizes<br />

through bicycle connectivity <strong>and</strong> speed <strong>and</strong> forces<br />

motorists crossing the facility to stop <strong>and</strong> proceed<br />

when safe. This treatment will typically be unwarranted<br />

<strong>and</strong> should be considered a traffic calming tool rather<br />

than a traffic control device.<br />

Advantages:<br />

• Inexpensive<br />

• Effective at reducing through bicycle <strong>and</strong> cross<br />

vehicle conflicts<br />

Disadvantages:<br />

• May be unwarranted as traffic control device<br />
