 Rumble strips are great for reducing auto crash rates, but not so good for bicycle and wheelchair travel.  Space allows for safer movement of cyclists and wheelchairs.

Width: 23 mm 28mm 32 mm 44 mm 50 mm.93 inch 1.1 inch 1.25 inch 1.7 inch 1.9 inch Designed Contact Depth is 0.15 inch.

FHWA Guidance for Shoulder or edge line rumble gaps: Allow users to cross between the shoulder and the travel lane without having to ride on the rumbles Systematic gaps shall be included in the run of rumble strips. The gaps should be 10’long (longer if traveling downhill) and spaced at 40-60’intervals  vement/rumble_strips/ vement/rumble_strips/

 The presence of shoulders (6 foot or wider) in KYTC Bicyclists Comfort Index  Walk/Documents/Metadata%20Page%20updated% pdf Walk/Documents/Metadata%20Page%20updated% pdf

Across entrances and turning lanes: These gaps should start 10’ to 20’ prior to the driveway opening or tuning lane approach. dway_dept/research/exec_sum mary.htm#designs Most important for users

Through highway intersections or where the rumble strips would be crossed by merging lanes, as vehicles should not have to encounter shoulder rumble strips within the normal traveled way. t/research/exec_summary.htm#designs

 Through marked or unmarked crosswalks, Rumble strips may create difficulties for persons in wheelchairs or with sight limitations. The center line rumble gaps should be placed no less than 10’ to 20’ prior to any roadway intersection.
