This report has been developed in response to widespread interest for improving both mobility choices and community character through a commitment to creating and enhancing walkable communities. 03 If used, Advance Turn Arrow (M5 series) and Directional Arrow (M6 series) auxiliary plaques (see Figure 9B-4) should be mounted below the appropriate Bike Route Guide sign, Bicycle Route sign, or U.S. If used, Junction (M2-1), Cardinal Direction (M3 series), and Alternative Route (M4 series) auxiliary plaques (see, If used, Advance Turn Arrow (M5 series) and Directional Arrow (M6 series) auxiliary plaques (see. shared by many types of vehicles. The desired width of a dotted bike transition lane and through bike lane is 6 feet with a minimum width of 4 feet. Unlike older, more conservative engineering manuals, this design guide emphasizes the core principle that urban streets are public places and have a larger role to play in communities than solely being conduits for traffic. 0000001707 00000 n

A 30 x 30-inch STOP sign or a 36 x 36 x 36-inch YIELD sign may be used on shared-use paths for added emphasis.
Bicycle Route signs may be installed on shared roadways or on shared-use paths to provide guidance for bicyclists.
