Page 16 Bicycle Analysis Intersection (Bicycle) Intersections and midblock segments with more than one bicycle collision were analyzed. Ten intersections had two or more collisions in the current three-year period. Patterns or actions to take were identified at the following intersections: Santa Rita Road at Valley Avenue All three collisions involved right-turning vehicles and juvenile bicyclists. Both collisions on the northeast corner had the southbound bicyclist hitting the side of a vehicle (bicyclist had no working brakes in first collision and did not look for vehicles in the second collision). As part of the planned intersection improvement project the pedestrian crossing on the northeast corner will be changed to be traffic signal controlled. The traffic signal will give a red signal indication when pedestrians are crossing (Countermeasure S02). Hopyard Road at Parkside Drive/Valley Trails (south) These three collisions were analyzed on the last report. No new collisions occurred at this intersection in the past two years. Two of the bicyclists were hit in a crosswalk. In the first collision the bicyclist was using the south crosswalk but did not use the pedestrian button. The second collision the northbound bicyclist was in the east crosswalk entered against a red pedestrian signal. No further patterns were identified. In April of 2024 staff upgraded detection to extend the all-red period (time the signal shows red to all directions between signal phases) when a bicycle is detected in the intersection. Pleasanton countermeasure PLS-BSMOD. Staff also worked with schools to get message to school aged bicyclists on the importance of using pedestrian push buttons at signalized intersections.
