Bicycle Lanes Design for Road User Safety

Abstract

This study addresses the use of non-motorized transportation. The global benefits of the bike paths, bike lanes, and other types of bicycle-specific infrastructure consist of a reduction in traffic congestion and a decrease in emissions of greenhouse gasses and other pollutants that commuters face today. Additional indirect benefits, of no less value, demonstrate the benefits and viability of bicycles and non-motorized transport. The aim of this study is to design a bicycle lane north–south road from Commerce Avenue in Metro Manila and determine the characteristics of the bikers in the area and to analyze the treats affecting bicycle riders using descriptive survey. The results of the data analysis show that familiarization of paths & facilities in north-south road was the main treats leading for a protected bike lane. A bicycle safety programs for ecotourism was recommended from the results of data analysis and through purposive sampling, a group of transportation engineers validated the bicycle program as well as the bikeway program.
