Our Work
Innovative signal operations with dedicated bicycle signal heads, right turn protected/permissive signal heads along with part-time restricted right turn signs that turn on a few seconds ahead of the bicycle signal heads
Installed colored bicycle facilities to identify and increase the visibility of potential conflict areas through the intersections
Implemented signal phasing that allocated more time to pedestrian movements while continuing to serve non-conflicting left-turn vehicle movements, which helped get even more operational efficiency out of the system
