*Bike BoxesWednesday, November 18 | 2-3pm CST*
Bike boxes are increasingly common; how are they applied in practice? The experience of Portland, Oregon, frames a discussion focused on engineering, evaluation and safety. Learn about the layout and physical elements of a bike box, their benefits and potential risks, and the current status of bike boxes in the MUTCD. In addition, the session includes information on traffic signal detection in bike boxes, the application of bike boxes to solve other problems, and a discussion of research conducted at Portland State University related to crash history.
