Understanding and Using New Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities

Research has explored the benefits of innovative pedestrian and bicycle facilities, but it is unclear how pedestrians and bicyclists learn to properly use them. This report provides information on new pedestrian and bicycle treatments and (1) the behavior and knowledge of pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers traversing through, on, and around the new facilities, and (2) law enforcement activity around the facilities. A systematic literature review as well as a review of current practices in outreach was conducted. The full test of this report is available from the US Department of Transportation lIbrary web portal at https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/62655
