To improve operation efficiency, the signal timing method for bicycle is studied at the intersection with the larger bicycle traffic flow based on the vehicle-bicycle conflict analysis with different flow direction. From the view of an overlap phase, the early end of green time for bicycle traffic flow is demarcated. Taking bicycle traffic flow as the key flow, the critical value is determined and then the signal timing parameters are calculated. Using the signal timing method, the vehicle-bicycle conflict can be lessened and even avoided. The delay of bicycle traffic flow is decreased and operation efficiency of the intersection is increased.
