*About the Webinar*
Since 2013, Vancouver has been building protected intersections, which extend protected bike lane design principles into the intersection to create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. This webinar will give examples of protected intersection designs that Vancouver has implemented, discuss the design principles behind them, and show how those principles have been adapted to different situations.
