Recommended Widths for Separated Bicycle Lanes Considering Abreast Riding and Overtaking
The paper aimed to develop width recommendations for separated bicycle lanes considering abreast riding and overtaking behaviors. We investigated eight segments of separated bicycle lanes in Nanjing with cameras, analyzed the major types of abreast riding and overtaking, and then explored the volume threshold for two-abreast riding as well as the suitable clearances in a comfortable overtaking, using a binomial logistic model for both. The main results and conclusions are as follows: (1) two-abreast riding and an electric bicycle passing a conventional bicycle were the main categories of abreast riding and overtaking, respectively. (2) The volume threshold at which two-abreast riding occurred was 1075 bicycles/h/m. (3) Distances of 0.48 m, 1.48 m, and 0.56 m were the suitable clearances for the distance from the center of the passed rider to the nearest curb, the distance center to the center of riders while overtaking, and the distance from the center of the passing rider to the nearest curb, respectively. (4) Below 1075 bicycles/h/m, a bicycle lane 2 m in width was acceptable; above that, 2.5 m was suggested as the minimum width of the bicycle lane.
