12 <br /> <br />Bicycle Boulevard (Class III) <br />Bicycle boulevards are applied on quiet streets, often through residential neighborhoods. <br />These treatments are designed to prioritize bicycle through-travel, while calming motor <br />vehicle traffic. Treatments vary depending on context but often include elements of traffic <br />calming and measures to discourage cut-through traffic, including traffic diverters, speed <br />attenuators such as speed humps or chicanes, pavement markings, and signs. <br /> <br />Guidance <br />• Bicycle boulevards can generally be considered on any road with one or more of the <br />following characteristics: <br />o Maximum Average Daily Traffic (ADT): 3,000 (Ideally, ADT should not exceed <br />1,000) <br />o Target motor vehicle traffic speed 20-25 mph; there should be a maximum 15 <br />mph differential between bicyclists and vehicles. <br />• Bicycle boulevards should contain both pavement markings and signage identifying <br />the roadway as a bicycle boulevard to provide greater driver awareness. <br />• Bicycle boulevards feature regularly spaced traffic calming treatments to slow <br />vehicles and meet target vehicle speeds. Traffic calming treatments are described <br />later in this document.
