The 1991 congressionally mandated National Bicycle and Walking Study set two goals: to double the percentage of trips made by bicycling and walking, and to reduce by 10 percent the number of bicyclists and pedestrians killed or injured in traffic crashes. During the past decade, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Research Program has supported these goals with its activities. The FHWA's Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Research Program has and will continue to focus on identifying problem areas for pedestrians and bicyclists, developing analysis tools for planners and engineers to target these problem areas, and evaluating countermeasures to reduce crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists. There are a variety of on- and off-road bicycle facilities - each with its advantages and disadvantages. The transportation engineering profession has needed a thorough evaluation of the various kinds of facilities implemented in pro-bicycling communities. As part of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Research Program, evaluations of some innovative treatments to accommodate bicyclists were conducted. This report documents the evaluation of a combined bicycle lane/right-turn lane used to accommodate both movements when intersection right-of-way was limited.
