10) Reduce crossing widths at intersections by <br />either providing curb extensions into the street <br />,equal to the width of on-streefiparking (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 13). <br />11) Extend bicycle lanes up to intersection stop <br />bars or crosswalks. Where bicycle lanes cross <br />through intersections, "skip" 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 15). <br />17) Striped crosswalks are to be used: <br />~- • © Figure <br />LW ®....t... ~.... _.l ~..~^ <br />Crosswalks ~. ~ ~. ~ ~ ~« ~ ~« ~« ~ _ .~ <br />® Curb F~rCensions <br />P Irkm I BaYI <br />.,,:., i„ ~ . a ~ ~ a <br />i ~'"`~'~ <br />i <br />t - <br />i <br />69 <br />
