Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-2 Lesson Outline Introduction to shared-use paths. Users of shared- use paths. Path types and planning issues. Shared-use path design.

Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-3 Importance of shared-use paths as a component of the nonmotorized transportation system. AASHTO definition of a shared-use path. Literature review. Introduction to Shared-Use Paths

Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-4 Users of Shared-Use Paths Bicyclists: – Different equipment types. Pedestrians: – Runners. – Persons with disabilities. – Others. Skaters and others. User conflict.

Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-5 Rail-trails. Rails-with-trails. Greenway trails. Paths adjacent to roads. Towpaths (canal trails). Paths along utility corridors. Paths in large developments. Path Types and Planning Issues

Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-6 Planning and project development process. Unique planning issues for unique trail types: –Converted rail and canal corridors. –Paths adjacent to railroads. –Greenway paths. –Paths adjacent to roads. Common community issues (examples): –Personal security/fear of crime. –Adjacent land uses and access. –Traffic safety. Paths serve both transportation and recreation. Path Types and Planning Issues

Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-7 Shared-Use Path Design ADA accessibility. Trail width and striping. Traffic safety at trail/roadway intersections.

Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-8 Trail Design Issues Path surface and treadway design. Geometric design. Access and restrictions. Safety adjacent to roads. Environmental impacts. Aesthetics. Amenities. Signs. Structures.

Federal Highway Administration University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation 2-9 Lesson Summary Shared-use paths provide car-free arterials in the pedestrian and bicycle network. Path users are diverse. Different path types present different planning challenges. Trail design must serve both transportation and recreation needs.
