49 <br /> <br />Implementation Strategies <br />Lane Narrowing <br />Lane narrowing can improve comfort and safety for vulnerable road users. Narrowing lanes <br />creates space that can be reallocated to other modes, in the form of wider sidewalks, bike <br />lanes, reduced crossing distances, and buffers between cyclists, pedestrians and motor <br />vehicles. Space can also be dedicated to plantings and amenity zones. The City of <br />Pleasanton uses 11’ travel lane width as a minimum standard on roadways over 30 <br />MPH. At turn pockets, the city will consider 10’ pocket width. <br /> <br />Guidance <br />• Motor vehicle travel lanes as narrow as 10’ are allowed in low and moderate-speed <br />environments (35 mph or less) according to the AASHTO Green Book. Caltrans <br />allows lane widths of 10.5-11 depending on roadway type and operating speed, per <br />DIB-94. <br />
