Protected intersections are hot. A free one-hour webinar this month will walk you through the ins and outs of the first one in North America.
The presentation by an active transportation manager and a street engineer from Vancouver, B.C., will start at 3 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Sept. 21.
Vancouver has moved faster than any other city in the U.S. or Canada to build new protected bikeway networks over the last few years. According to the description by the webinar hosts -- the National Association of City Transportation Officials -- the presentation will "provide an overview of a variety of protected intersection treatments that Vancouver has been implementing over the past 5 years including its first fully protected intersection at Burrard and Cornwall."
