Adequate pedestrian<br />
infrastructure <strong>and</strong> design:<br />
By adequate levels <strong>of</strong> pedestrian<br />
infrastructure <strong>and</strong> design we<br />
mean development is intense<br />
enough so that distances<br />
between destinations are not too<br />
great, the street system allows<br />
fairly direct pedestrian routes, <strong>and</strong><br />
there are enough sidewalks or low<br />
traffi c streets to provide options<br />
for getting to major destinations.<br />
Bicycle box: Also called an<br />
advanced stop bar, is a right angle<br />
extension <strong>of</strong> a bicycle lane at an<br />
intersection, which allows cyclists<br />
to get ahead <strong>of</strong> automobiles after<br />
being stopped at a traffi c light.<br />
Bicycle loan programs: Provide<br />
free (or nearly free) access to<br />
bicycles for local transportation<br />
needs.<br />
Carrots: Colloquial term used to<br />
describe the range <strong>of</strong> policy<br />
options serving to make<br />
something (NMT) extremely<br />
attractive, appealing or sometimes<br />
even irresistible.<br />
Class A cyclists: Are experienced<br />
<strong>and</strong> are happy to operate on<br />
collector or arterial streets.<br />
Class B cyclists: Include adults<br />
or teenagers who ride more<br />
occasionally <strong>and</strong> have less<br />
confi dence in traffi c than Class A<br />
cyclists.<br />
Class C cyclists: Include<br />
children, the elderly, or other<br />
inexperienced populations who<br />
either do not ride on roads or<br />
where such activity is monitored<br />
by parents<br />
Derived travel: Travel individuals<br />
do to engage in activities in other<br />
places—work, recreation,<br />
shopping, health services.<br />
Hard measures: Physical factors<br />
directly affected by policy<br />
changes. May include<br />
development patterns, street<br />
layout, bicycle lanes, foot paths,<br />
intersections, bicycle parking, etc.<br />
High quality pedestrian<br />
infrastructure: E.G., wide,<br />
tree-lined sidewalks with attractive<br />
paving, artistic street lamps, etc.<br />
