Wayfinding Options for Cyclists
Bicycle wayfinding signs are different than other signs placed in the
right of way because they are part of a system of sequential
destination information; thus, planning, 
placement
and maintenance are critical to maintaining the system. This webinar
will go beyond the guidance found in the MUTCD and the 2012 AASHTO
Bicycle Guide to consider the details of developing and implementing a
city-wide bicycle sign system. Planners, engineers, municipal staff and
consultants should attend this webinar to gain a better understanding of
an increasingly common bicycle facility.
The presentation will cover these topics:
- The value of providing wayfinding for urban cyclists
- Approaches to planning and implementation
- Strategies to determine and prioritize signed bicycle routes
- Issues of planning, placement and maintenance of signs, including sign design and placement within the right of way that integrates guidelines from the 2009 MUTCD, the 2012 AASHTO Bicycle Guide, and the AASHTO Green Book
- Special issues related to trails
Examples from Seattle, Baltimore, and other locations will be included. (Note that the APBP webinar on January 16 will address the topic of Best Practices in Pedestrian Wayfinding.)
Presenters:
- Virginia Coffman, Senior Planner, Toole Design Group
- Robert Patten, Senior Planner, Toole Design Group.
