                3. INTERRUPTED BICYCLE FACILITIES: Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Recommended Procedures for the "Bicycles" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual
  
  **Comment:**
      This section focuses on operational analyses of interrupted bicycle facilities, including signalized and unsignalized on-street designated bicycle facilities with and without exclusive right-turn lanes for motor vehicle traffic. An example of a bicycle lane treatment at a signalized intersection having an exclusive right-turn lane.
    
          **Last Updated (Year):** 1998
    
          **Year Produced:** 1998
    
          **Abstract**:The objective of this project was to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document contains both new and revised procedures for analyzing various types of exclusive and mixed–use bicycle facilities. These procedures are recommended to determine the level of service for bicycle facilities on the basis of previous domestic and international bicycle operations research conducted to date. This document only addresses procedures for streets, roads, and intersections with designated bicycle facilities. In addition to this report, there were two additional reports produced as part of this effort on Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities.
