TRAFFIC CALMING - DO'S AND DON'TS TO ENCOURAGE BICYCLING

This paper describes the concept of a bicycle priority street and how it can be realized through traffic calming strategies. It then describes bicycle-compatible traffic calming measures that can be implemented with the primary goal being either neighborhood traffic management or the creation of a bicycle priority street. Finally, this paper identifies measures that should be used as little as possible or never. This last category of measures adversely affects bicyclists in some way, and since bicyclists are legally allowed on every local street, these measures are to be discouraged.
