CalBike 2024 California Bicycle Summit will be held this year at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside Hotel. Tom Bertulis, Sr. Active Transportation Engineer, at KTUA will be part of two panel discussions. April 18, 2024 at 10:30am, “Best Practices: Emergency Vehicle Access for Bicycle/Pedestrian Friendly Streets” about recent research with emergency responders from various California cities with the goal of implementing traffic calming to reach Vision Zero goals. Protected bike lanes often come with difficult decisions about clear widths, and require working closely with the Fire Department. Additionally, on April 19, 2024 at 9:00am, Tom will discuss “Edge Lane Roads.” Edge Lane Roads involve striping dashed non-exclusive lanes for bicyclists and pedestrians on the edge of roads and removing the centerline. This demands greater attention on the part of motorists and confers greater dignity to vulnerable users and enables inclusion of bike infrastructure where space restricts widening. https://lnkd.in/eiDKJ5AG

If your New Year's resolution is to build better bikeways, there's never been a better time. The newly released 5th edition of the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities goes beyond just accommodating bicyclists—it prioritizes accessible, connected, and inclusive bikeways for people of all ages and abilities. 🚲 For a glimpse of what's in the guide, check out our recent blog post: https://lnkd.in/exEYz27C

The future of transportation in cities involves a combination of biking and public transportation. The number of use cases for cars will be dramatically reduced. Everything else is transitionary or simply vaporware. Some cities will realize this sooner than others depending on how bold their leadership is.

Travelling by bike has so many benefits and for more people to cycle they need to feel safe on our roads. Our national road safety campaign #GiveCycleSpace reminds people they need to slow down around people on bikes. https://orlo.uk/Loka9

In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Natalia Barbour to discuss building and redesigning cities to be bikeable, walkable, and skateable. Dr. Barbour specializes in transportation and travel technologies and we talk about methods for restructuring and the positive effects of transitioning to bikeable and walkable cities. She explains why cities have evolved to be so dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians and some of the obstacles for greener cities such as lobbying by the fossil fuel and automotive industries. We point out some of the cities and countries that are currently well designed for bikeabilty and how the culture shift toward cycling in the United States will help create positive design changes in American cities. https://lnkd.in/geai64P8
