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 />
