o 10) Reduce crossing widths at intersections by either providing curb extensions into the street equal to the width of on-street parking (but not interfering with bicycle lanes) or reduce curb return radius to the maximums stated under the curb return radius section. Exceptions include narrow streets with short crossings, intersections with exclusive right turn lanes, or intersections with a high volume of right turning trucks and buses. (See Figure 9). 11) Extend bicycle lanes up to intersection stop bars or crosswalks. Where bicycle lanes cross through intersections, "skip" markings shaH be used to del ineate the lane. 12) At intersections with exclusive right-turn lanes, the bicycle lane should be placed to the left of the right-turn lane. 13) Provide bicycle crossing intervals at signalized intersections to accommodate a 1 0 m.p.h. crossing. 14) Design of any curb return should consider its "effective" radius provided by the presence of bicycle lanes, parking, and other details before increasing radius size to accommodate bus or truck use. 15) The design of curb return radii should take into account the width of the two intersecting streets, the design vehicle (such as an LTD bus), lane widths, presence of bicycle lanes or on- street parking, etc. In each case, LTD staff and Transportation Division staff shall be consulted to determine the smallest acceptable radius for the benefit of pedestrian and bicycle movement, that adequately provides for bus and truck turns at the intersection. (See "Figure 26 in Transit Facilities section of Design Standards and Guidelines). 16) Design of channelized right turn islands (slip lanes) can be considered in locations where street crossing distances, traffic volumes or traffic speeds jeopardize pedestrian safety or comfort. (See Figure 11). 17) Striped crosswalks are to be used: a) at all signalized pedestrian crossings b) at all intersections on designated school routes Curb Extensions Figure 9 27
