The study revealed a significant difference in speed reduction; bike lanes with physical delineators slowed drivers turning right by 28%, underscoring the need for physical barriers.
The findings advocate for enhanced bicycle infrastructure, stating that paint-only bike lanes had a minimal effect, supporting the mantra: 'Paint is not protection.'
Creating bike lanes and adjusting parking led to slower driving speeds, particularly for right turns, demonstrating one effective way to improve cyclist safety.
With 1,360 preventable cycling deaths in 2022, implementing safer intersections by reducing vehicle speeds is crucial for achieving Vision Zero goals.
