1
Applicable to bike accommodations that are adjacent to vehicular traffic (does not include bicycle lanes separated by a large vertical barrier)
2
Use Table 14-22 if facility is adjacent to on-street parking or Table 14-23 if facility is not adjacent to on-street parking 3
Applicable to mixed traffic bicycle accommodations4
Applicable to bicycle facilities at intersection approaches5
Use Table 14-25 if accommodations is a pocket bike lane (a bike lane positioned between a right-turn lane and a through lane at an intersection), use Table 14-26 for mixed traffic bicycle facilities at intersection right-turns, use Table 14-27 for mixed traffic bicycle facilities at intersection left-turns6
Right-turn length should only be collected if analyzing bicycle accommodations with right-turn at intersection approach7
Lanes crossed is the number of through lanes crossed to go from the bicycle accommodation to the left-turn lane, should only be collected if analyzing bicycle accommodation with leftturn at intersection approach8
Applicable to locations that are unsignalized intersection crossings or midblock crossings (Table 14-24) Facility3 : This form should be used to inventory a bicycle accommodation when conducting a bicycle level of traffic stress analysis.
