10) Reduce crossing widths at intersections by <br />either providing curb extensions into the street <br />equal to the width of on-street parking (but not <br />interfering with bicycle lanes) or reduce curb <br />return radius to the maximums stated under the <br />curb return radius section. Exceptions include <br />narrow streets with short crossings, intersections <br />with exclusive right turn lanes, or intersections <br />with a high volume of right turning trucks and <br />buses. (See Figure 9). <br />11) Extend bicycle lanes up to intersection stop <br />bars or crosswalks. Where bicycle lanes cross <br />through intersections, Nskip" markings shall. be <br />used to delineate the lane, <br />12) At intersections with exclusive right-turn <br />lanes, the bicycle lane should be placed to the <br />left of the right-turn lane. <br />13) Provide bicycle crossing intervals at signalized <br />intersections to accommodate a 10 m.p.h, crossing. <br />14) Design of any curb return should consider its <br />"effective" radius provided by the presence of <br />bicycle lanes, parking, and other details before <br />increasing radius size to accommodate bus or <br />truck use. <br />15) The design of curb return radii should take <br />into account the width of the two intersecting <br />streets, the design vehicle (such as an LTD bus), <br />lane widths, presence of bicycle lanes or on- <br />street parking, etc. In each case, LTD staff and <br />Transportation Division staff shall be consulted <br />to determine the smallest acceptable radius for <br />the benefit of pedestrian and bicycle movement, <br />that adequately provides for bus and truck turns <br />at the intersection. (See Figure 26 in Transit <br />Facilities section of Design Standards and <br />Guidelines). <br />16) Design of channelized right turn islands (slip <br />lanes) can be considered in locations where <br />street crossing distances, traffic volumes or traffic <br />speeds jeopardize pedestrian safety or comfort. <br />(See Figure 11). <br />17) Striped crosswalks are to be used: <br />a) at all signalized pedestrian crossings <br />b) at all intersections on designated school <br />routes <br />i • Figure 9 <br />1 <br />I I I ( I I I <br />I I <br />Crosswalks ... - - -~- - -• - - - - - - <br />® Curb Extensions <br />Parking Bay <br />i y ; ~~~' ^~~ gE~' his'>. <br />`it~~~. ~ <br />t <br />i <br />i <br />t - <br />t <br />27 <br />
