University Bike Master Plan

University Policy

• Bicycle committee recommends that the current
  policy for bicycles on sidewalks be changed to
  create a safe transportation link on roadways.
• This will allow engineers to consider bikes when
  planning road improvements.

Definitions

• Class 1 (Shared Use Path) A constructed lane
  on right of way completely separate from motor
  vehicle rights of way and designated for the
  exclusive use of non-motorized modes of
  transportation such as bicycles and pedestrians.
• Class 2 (Bike lane) A portion of roadway
  striped and signed for the semi-exclusive use of
  bicycles. Turning movements by autos across
  bicycle lanes are allowed.
• Class 3 (Shared roadway) A portion of roadway
  signed for bicycle use. Bicycles share the right
  of ways with motor vehicles.

Suggestions

• The new, six-foot high markings feature a bicycle
  symbol but no bike lane stripes.
• The shared lane marking is an effective, flexible
  alternative to striped bike lanes and can be used
  to improve cyclist safety and make connections
  between bike lanes, greenways and bridge paths on
  streets too narrow for standard five-foot wide
  bike lanes. Last year, the San Francisco
  Department of Parking and Traffic surveyed
  motorists and cyclists about shared lane bike
  symbols and found that 80 of respondents
  understood the symbols to mean share the road
  and drive and ride cautiously.
