At mid -block (Figure 12) intersections of bike path and roadway, <br />a bicycle crossing should be provided. This would be similar to <br />a pedestrian crosswalk with signs warning motorists of a bicycle <br />crossing. The automobile normally has the right -of -way; thus <br />stop or yield signs for bicyclists should be provided. Ramps <br />(Figure 11) should also be provided when utilization or existing <br />ramps is not possible. <br />At bicycle lane intersections, bike lanes should be ended at the <br />pedestrian crosswalks (Figure 13 ) . Upon yielding to pedestrians, <br />the bicyclist may either get off his bicycle and cross as a <br />pedestrian in the crosswalk or else ride across the intersection <br />with the green light. <br />Left turning cyclists at this type of signalized intersection <br />have two options depending on the color of the signal (Figures <br />13 and 14) 0. By educating the cyclist of the two options, it <br />would not be necessay to wait through two traffic signals to <br />execute a left turn. <br />For a single bicycle lane with the right -of -way crossing a <br />roadway intersection, the bicycle lane may simply be continued <br />(Figure 15). Signs should be provided on the crossroads warning <br />pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists alike of the presence of <br />a bicycle crossing. <br />R.. <br />•r. <br />CURB CUT* <br />*RECOMMENDED <br />FIG.
