5 Executive Summary
MCAG is taking strides in its efforts of building
and maintaining safe and connected bicycle,
pedestrian, and transit networks to meet the
community’s need to improve the existing
roadway networks, reduce fatalities and serious
injuries throughout the county, improve public
health, and reduce dependency on single
occupancy vehicles through the development of
a comprehensive Regional Active Transportation
Plan (ATP). Active transportation describes
a means of getting around that is primarily
powered by human energy, such as walking
and bicycling. Throughout this document,
all references to pedestrians are inclusive of
persons with disabilities who use mobility
aids (such as, scooters, manual and powered
wheelchairs) to access public pedestrian
walkways. Land use, the current state of the
economy, institutionalized practices, and society
can shape the active transportation experience.

These factors play into the decision of how
people travel: to get groceries, to go to school,
to get to work, and to upkeep a healthy lifestyle.

This Plan is a regional document that takes
a countywide look at the pedestrian and
bicycle networks and how MCAG and
its member agencies can support active
transportation through education, equity,
policy, and implementation. Walking and biking
recommendations are made for the following
jurisdictions in the region:

The cities of:
• Atwater
• Dos Palos
• Livingston
• Los Banos
• Merced
Larger unincorporated communities within
Merced County:
• Delhi
• Hilmar
• Planada
• Santa Nella
• South Dos Palos
• Winton
The City of Gustine completed an Active
Transportation Plan in 2021, the primary
projects of which are included for reference.

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
This plan is structured to provide a guiding vision
and set of goals, a comprehensive overview
existing conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians,
and specific projects, strategies, and actions to
advance and encourage walking and bicycling.
• Chapter 1: Vision and Guiding Principles
provides insight to the purpose and need
for an Active Transportation Plan for Merced
County, including the plan development
process, as well as the overall vision and
goals that grounds the Plan.
• Chapter 2: Where the Region Stands
includes a summary of each of the
jurisdictions existing bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure, major barriers in the network,
an overview of bicycle and pedestrian
related collision trends, and an overview of
the presence of disadvantaged communities
countywide and associated equity analysis.
• Chapter 3: Engaging the Community
highlights the various outreach efforts and
activities conducted to solicit feedback and
input on the development of this plan.
• Chapter 4: Active Transportation Toolbox
includes a primer on national best
practices around design and policy, as well
as infrastructure and non-infrastructure
countermeasures
• Chapter 5: Building Out a Regional
Network provides a list of recommended
improvements for jurisdictions to consider
for implementation. Each project was
prioritized based on various considerations
including feasibility, safety, access, equity,
and connectivity.
• Chapter 6: Implementation and
Accountability includes potential funding
opportunities, how to track progress of
enhancing the transportation network,
and strategies for MCAG and its member
jurisdictions to coordinate to create a
safer, complete, and connected active
transportation network.

Collectively, the recommended plans and
policies in this document reflect a vision where
people of all ages and abilities have access
to safe, connected, and robust facilities for
bicycling and walking.

9 Vision and
Guiding Principles
What we now consider “active transportation”
is very different from when transportation
was limited to walking and bicycling. Active
transportation today also includes using a
skateboard, electric bicycle or scooter, a
wheelchair, or roller skates. Even when we drive
or take transit, every trip we make begins and
ends with active transportation.

The obligation for MCAG and its partner
agencies is to build and maintain a
transportation system that serves every person,
helps the State reach its goals to improve public
health, reduce dependency on single occupancy
vehicles, and rectify historic discrimation
inequity in land use decision-making. The
Merced Regional Active Transportation Plan
provides a foundation for the development
and evolution of the local and regional active
transportation network. As decision makers
take on the task of preparing yearly budgets
and identifying the critical needs of each
partner agency, identifying and prioritizing
active transportation needs is more crucial than
ever. Ultimately, the purpose of this Plan is to
improve the quality of life in Merced County for
everyone – children, young adults, the elderly,
people with disabilities, and future generations
– through connecting the pedestrian and
bicycle network and making travel safer, more
convenient, and more comfortable.

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Plan Purpose and Need
The Merced County Regional Active
Transportation Plan is the blueprint for
enhancing active transportation in the region.

It is a combined pedestrian and bicycling plan
which builds off previous projects and programs
established through both local and regional
plans. This ATP intends to:
• Identify and support how active
transportation contributes to the County’s
health, environmental, economic, and land
use goals
• Acknowledge and address the effects of
infrastructure decisions on safety and
mobility, with an emphasis in communities
that have been historically underserved
• Provide decision makers with information in
making policy decisions that affect people
walking and biking
• Provide recommendations on where
to invest in bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure
Embracing the Safe System Approach as part
of this ATP aligns with the 2022 National
Safety Strategy released by the US DOT,1
and
Caltrans’ commitment with the most recent
Strategic Highway Safety Plan. Committing to
and providing a Safe System, especially for
vulnerable road users, committing to providing
a Safe System, especially for vulnerable road
users, is a priority for the region.

SafeSystem_ Brochure_V9_508_200717.pdf
Plan Development Process
The Plan was developed to serve as a resource
for local agencies to plan and implement walking
and biking improvements, and for MCAG to
prioritize and implement improvements of
countywide significance. The content of the plan
and its recommendations were informed by
several inputs:
• Adopted local plans
• Existing data related to walking and biking
• Identified barriers to walking, biking, and
accessing transit through walk audits
• Benchmark on Safe System best practices
and where challenges may exist
• Input from community members through a
thorough engagement process

Priorities
Prioritizing walking, bicycling, and transit allows
people to get to and from their jobs, schools,
retail centers, recreational areas, and all around
the community. Facilitating an increase in active
transportation can confer a variety of benefits
such as improved safety, comfort, health, air
quality, economic vitality, and quality of life.

Increased walking and bicycling will also support
the region’s commitments to state climate goals,
including the reduction of vehicle miles traveled
(VMT).

Benefits of Active Transportation
Walking, biking, and other forms of active
transportation are integral to the health of
individuals and communities. The benefits of
active transportation include:
• Connecting people to schools, retail,
recreational, and transit centers, jobs, and
other members of the community
• Improving health and reducing the incidence
of disease and obesity
• Reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas
production
• Supporting local businesses and economic
vitality
• Creating more vibrant and lively streets
• Saving people money on gas and car
maintenance
Establishing a Safe System Policy
Safe System Approach is an international,
national, and state best practice
framework, and a foundation for
improving roadway safety. A Safe
System acknowledges the vulnerability
of the human body—in terms of the
amount of kinetic energy transfer a
body can withstand—when designing
and operating a transportation network
to minimize serious consequences of
crashes. According to the World Health
Organization, the goal of a Safe System is
to ensure that if crashes occur, they “do
not result in serious human injury.”
The MCAG Local Roadway Safety Plan also
acknowledges the Safe System approach.

Through these two plans, MCAG and
its member agencies are committing
to addressing safety problems, and
identifying and facilitating changes that
need to be implemented to create a safer
environment for pedestrians and bicyclists.

MCAG and its member agencies can adopt
a Safe System Policy, which would commit
them to, as a matter of policy, prioritize
the safety of vulnerable users over
multimodal operations in instances where
a tough trade-off decision between the
two is necessary. This can work to ensure a
safe and equitable roadway network.

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Health
In recognition of the importance of physical
activity for health, the United States Surgeon
General and the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) encourage communities to design streets
to make walking and biking safe and easy.2
Using
active modes of transportation is a low-cost and
effective way to incorporate physical activity
into daily routines. Benefits to both physical and
mental health from moderate amounts of daily
exercise include lowered risk of heart disease,
adult-onset diabetes, high-blood pressure, and
stress, as well as more energy, flexibility, and
muscle strength. Physical activity can also help
combat obesity and lower asthma rates.

This advice is pertinent to Merced County,
where health outcomes rank poorly compared
to statewide indicators on a number of fronts.

Merced County has higher obesity rates for
both adults and children than statewide and
nationwide averages, with children in particular
being significantly less likely to be physically
active. In terms of diabetes, Merced County has
the highest age-adjusted death rate for diabetes
in the San Joaquin Valley, and the fifth-highest
amongst California counties. Merced County
also sees a higher prevalence of chronic lower
respiratory diseases like asthma than statewide
averages.3

Assessment.” Retried from https://www.countyofmerced.
com/DocumentCenter/View/12213/Merced-CountyCommunity-Health-Assessment.

Equity
Active transportation gives people who cannot
or choose not to drive more and affordable
options for getting around independently to
meet their daily needs. Those who benefit
most from improvements to walking and
biking include children (particularly for going
to school); many seniors and people with
disabilities; and low-income families, for whom
the cost of owning and operating a car can be
prohibitive
Economy
Active transportation can benefit the bottom
line of households, businesses, and cities. The
economic benefits of walking and biking include
lower transportation costs for individuals and
families, increased property values in trafficcalmed neighborhoods, savings to cities from less wear and tear on streets, less demand for
roadway improvements and parking lots, and a
greater ability for communities to attract new
residents and employers. .

Livability
Enabling people to make shorter trips on foot
or by bicycle can help communities improve
quality of life in important ways. More trips out
of the car shifted to walks and bike rides leads
to more interaction with neighbors. Local streets
become calmer and safer, but also livelier with
the increased presence of pedestrian and
bicyclists activity. The most discussed, and
perhaps most critical, environmental benefits of
active transportation are reduced air pollution
and emissions of greenhouse gases. Other
environmental benefits include energy savings,
less noise pollution, less water pollution, and
even reduced pressure to develop agricultural
and open space.

Vision
The Merced Region is a place where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can safely, conveniently, and comfortably walk, bike, and roll to wherever their destinations may be. The active transportation system promotes healthy communities, improved quality of life, and equitable access to job and educational opportunities.

Guiding Principles
Safety
Create and maintain a safe environment
for people walking, biking, and rolling
Mode Shift
Increase the share of trips made using
active modes throughout the region
Equity
Prioritize active transportation
investments in underserved communities
Connectivity
Create a pedestrian and bicycle network that connects
people to key destinations and public transit

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Relevant Plans
The following is a review and analysis of existing
policies and programs at the state and local
levels. These plans and documents contain goals
and policies as well as specific requirements
related to active transportation. The following
summarizes the plans and identifies how they
will support the efforts of this ATP.

State Plans and Policies
Caltrans District 10 Active Transportation Plan
(2021)
The District 10 Active Transportation Plan
identifies needs on the State Highway System
and establishes a baseline for assessing future
progress by focusing on four goals: mobility,
safety, equity, and preservation.

This Plan supports the District 10 ATP by building
off its existing conditions, identifying walking
and bicycling needs, and funding to meet active
transportation needs.

Caltrans Complete Streets Evaluation Policy
(2021)
The Caltrans Complete Streets Evaluation
Policy focuses on providing comfortable,
convenient, and connected complete streets
facilities for people walking, biking, and taking
transit or passenger rail unless an exception is
documented and approved.

Regional Plans
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) / Sustainable
Communities Strategy for Merced County (SCS)
(2022)
The RTP/SCS seeks to ensure that the Merced
County transportation system will continue to
operate efficiently over the next 25 years with
sufficient capacity to meet demand and that
mobility options are available for all of Merced
County’s residents.

Merced County Regional Bicycle
Transportation Plan (2008)
The purpose of MCAG’s Merced County Regional
Bicycle Transportation Plan is to provide
a comprehensive long-range view for the
development of an extensive regional bikeway
network that connects cities and unincorporated
areas countywide.

Local Plans
Relevant local plans were reviewed to consider
strategies for developing a complete and
connected walking and bicycling network that
promotes walking and bicycling access and
safety. This ATP aims to link ideas from local
plans and align with them in both incorporated
and unincorporated areas; however, it is the
responsibility of each jurisdiction to fully
implement their respective plans. Plans reviewed
include the Gustine Active Transportation Plan
(2022), City of Merced Active Transportation and
Safe Routes to School Plan (2019), City of Los
Banos Bicycle Pedestrian Plan (2018), Planada
Pedestrian Improvement Plan (2014), FranklinBeachwood Safe Routes to School Plan (2014), City of Merced Bike Transportation Plan (2013),
and City of Livingston Bicycle Plan (2005).

Page 97 of 256 ends

Relevant Regional and Local Policies
In recent years, communities across the
region have adopted policies related to active
transportation.

Notable policies at the county level include:
• MCAG’s Regional Transportation Impact Fee
enacted in 2005 provides additional revenue
to mitigate transportation impacts on the
regional road network.
• Measure V is MCAG’s 30-year 1/2 cent
transportation sales tax for the Merced
County region that was passed by voters in
November 2016. The measure is estimated
to generate $15 million in new revenue
annually and $450 million over the life of
the measure. The Expenditure Plan requires
jurisdictions spend at least 20% of their
funding on alternative modes projects for
biking, walking, and other alternative modes
to single-occupant vehicle use.
• MCAG’s Regional Transportation Plan/
Sustainable Communities Strategies for
Merced County (RTP/SCS, 2022) identifies
policies to support a regional transportation
system and build out pedestrian and bicyclist
facilities where they do not currently exist.

Many of the RTP/SCS goals align with state
regulatory frameworks, including the
California Complete Streets Act (AB1358).

The RTP/SCS policies focus on actively
pursuing funding for active transportation
projects countywide.
• The 2030 Merced County General Plan
(2013) identifies policies to design an
efficient transportation network, promote
alternative modes of transportation, and
develop Complete Streets improvements
to support multimodal travel. The General
Plan requires all new or major reconstructed
streets within Urban Communities to
accommodate travel by pedestrians
and bicyclists, and coordinating bicycle
lane standards, active transportation
amenities, and funding between the
County’s incorporated and unincorporated
communities.
• MCAG’s Regional Bicycle Transportation Plan
(2008) includes strategies and policies to
connect bikeways throughout the county.

Notable policies at the local level include:
• The City of Merced’s Bicycle Transportation
Plan (2013) establishes a comprehensive
system of Complete Streets policies to
address all modes of transportation. Policies
are tailored to design streets consistent
with circulation function, transit-oriented
development, or site design that promotes
walking, bicycling, and transit usage. The
Complete Streets policies are revisited in the
City of Merced’s Active Transportation and
Safe Route to School Plan in 2019.
• The City of Gustine’s Active Transportation
Plan (2021) includes a policy to integrate
bicycle and pedestrian network and facility
needs into city planning documents and
capital improvement projects where
applicable. In order to do so, the plan
recommends adopting a Complete Streets
resolution or ordinance as a commitment to
developing bicycle and pedestrian facilities
throughout the City.
• The City of Los Banos Bicycle Pedestrian Plan
(2018) uses the City’s 2030 General Plan
as its basis for transportation goals. Tiering
off of the General Plan, the City aims to
incorporate Complete Streets policies into
local planning efforts.

17 Where The
Region Stands
Merced County encompasses over 1.2 million
acres, with 81 percent of available land
dedicated to agricultural uses and populations
concentrated throughout six incorporated cities
and numerous unincorporated communities.

While the region’s population remains
under 300,000, the MCAG 2022 Regional
Transportation Plan estimates the County will
increase by approximately 82,000 persons,
27,000 jobs, and 34,000 households by 2046.

A growing population needs a robust
transportation network to support all modes
of travel. Today, driving remains the primary
and main mode choice for many residents. At
the countywide level, only 2.3 percent and 0.4
percent of the population walks and bikes to
work, respectively. This reflects the existing
regional transportation system, which has
historically prioritized vehicles over the safety,
comfortability, and accessibility for bicyclists
and pedestrians. Understanding the conditions
of the transportation network and barriers
provides insight on potential countermeasures
that can be used to mitigate connectivity and
safety issues in the network.

This chapter provides information on the
current state of bicycling and walking through
a discussion of the existing facilities, barriers
to travel, collision data, and disadvantaged
community metrics.

Existing Facilities
Safe and connected active transportation facilities
promote the mode shift from vehicles to walking
and bicycling and provide the first- and last-mile
connection from transit facilities to destinations
such as retail centers, work, school, parks, and
many more facilities. When developing an Active
Transportation Plan for such a large geographical
area, the active transportation landscape can vary
significantly for each unincorporated community.

For instance, the transportation needs of more
densely populated areas, such as the City of
Merced, differ from those of lower-density or
more rural communities, such as Planada in
unincorporated Merced County. Therefore,
understanding user needs is a nuanced process
that must take local context and land use (as
documented in Appendix A) into consideration.

Multimodal facilities primarily consist of
sidewalks, trails, multi-use paths, and bicycle
facilities. Multimodal facilities support people
walking, biking, and all other non-motorized
modes of travel. Currently, Merced County has
approximately 42.1 miles of multi-use paths
and 108.3 miles of roadway with designated
bicycle facilities, as listed in Table 2. While
the exact length of existing sidewalks is
unavailable, sidewalks are provided in most
new developments but are intermittent or
missing in many older neighborhoods and rural
communities.

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Bicycle Facilities
Several types of bikeways and supporting
facilities come together to form a complete
bicycle network.

Bicycle parking requirements are provided in
various City and County development codes.

While bike parking is installed at most municipal
buildings and schools, these facilities in some
instances do neet meet the standards or quality
that residents expect.

Bikeways are classified in Chapter 1000 of the
Highway Design Manual (Caltrans, 2015) into
four primary types:
• Class I bike paths (including shared-use
paths and trails)
• Class II bike lanes (including Class IIB
buffered bike lanes)
• Class III bike routes (including Class IIIB
bicycle boulevards)
• Class IV separated bikeways
Bicycle facilities throughout the region are
mapped in Figures 5-10.

Class I Shared-Use Path
Bike Paths, often referred to as shared-use
paths or trails, are off -street facilities that
provide exclusive use for nonmotorized travel,
including bicyclists and pedestrians, as shown
in Figure 1. Bike paths have minimal cross flow
with motorists and are typically located along
landscaped corridors. Bike paths can be utilized
for both recreational and commute trips. These
paths provide an important recreational amenity
for bicyclists, pedestrians, dog walkers, runners,
skaters, and those using other nonmotorized
forms of travel. They are frequently designed to
offer a benefit to users, such as a connection not
previously included in the bicycle or pedestrian
network or traversing a barrier such as a freeway
or river. Unless specifically allowed by local laws,
equestrians are generally prohibited from using
bike paths. If horses and riders are allowed to
use the facility, paths should be designed to
accommodate all users, typically with wider
widths than traditional multiuse paths.

Class I bike paths currently exist in a few locations
in the county, typically alongside canals or
waterways or adjacent to busier roadways. In Los
Banos, Class I bike paths run along portions of the
Main Canal, Prairie Springs Drive, and Ward Road.

In Gustine, Class I bike paths run along Meredith
Avenue to Harry Schmidt Park. In Atwater, Class
I bike paths run along N Buchach Road and E
Juniper Avenue. The City of Merced and its
surrounding areas have the most robust Class I
bike path network in the County, with facilities
along Black Rascal Creek, Fahrens Creek, Bear
Creek, and Cottonwood Creek. Class I paths also
exist along Lake Road and Campus Parkway.

Class II Bike Lane & Class IIB Buffered Bike Lane
Class II bike lanes are on-street facilities that
use striping, stencils, and signage to denote
preferential or exclusive use by bicyclists. Onstreet bike lanes are located adjacent to motor vehicle traffic. Well-designed bike lanes provide
adequate space for comfortable riding and
alert drivers about the predictable movements
of bicyclists. The majority of existing bicycle
facilities throughout the region are categorized
as Class II bicycle lanes, with most located in the
urbanized areas of Los Banos and Merced.

Class IIB, or buffered bike lanes, are standard
bike lanes paired with a designated buffer space,
separating the bicycle lane from the adjacent
motor vehicle travel lane and/or parking lane,
as shown in Figure 2. This type of bikeway
provides greater distance between vehicles and
bicycles, space for bicyclists to pass each other,
and greater space for bicycling without making
the bike lane appear so wide that it might be
mistaken for a travel lane; and encourages
bicycling by contributing to the perception of
safety.

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Class III Bikeways: Bike Route and Bike Boulevard
Bike routes are streets with signage and optional
pavement markings where bicyclists travel
on the shoulder or share a lane with motor
vehicles. Class III bike routes are best suited for
low-speed and low-volume streets, to connect
bike lanes or paths along corridors that do not
provide enough space for dedicated lanes.

Shoulders are preferable but not required on
streets with Class III bike routes.

Bicycle boulevards, as shown in Figure 3, are
designated in this Plan as Class IIIB. They are
similar to bike routes in that they are routes
shared with automobile traffic. They are located
on low-speed and low-volume streets, such as
those found in residential neighborhoods, and
can close important gaps in the bicycle network
on roads with insufficient space for dedicated
lanes. Bicycle boulevards are distinct from
typical bike routes in that further enhancements
are provided to slow speeds and discourage
non-local vehicle traffic via traffic diverters,
chicanes, traffic circles, and/or speed tables.

Bicycle boulevards can also feature special
wayfinding signage to nearby destinations or
other bikeways.

Most bicycle routes run throughout the City
of Gustine and in the City of Merced providing
connections to Class II bike lanes.

Class IV Separated Bikeway
Class IV separated bikeways, commonly known
as cycle tracks, are physically separated bicycle
facilities that are distinct from the sidewalk and
designed for exclusive use by bicyclists. They
are located within the street right-of-way but
provide comfort similar to Class I bike paths.

The key feature of a separated bikeway, as
shown in Figure 4, is a vertical element that
provides further separation from motor
vehicle traffic. Common vertical elements
used for separation include a vertical curb,
a painted buffer with flexible posts, parked
cars, a landscaped area, large planters, or a
fixed barrier. Separated bikeways may also
be constructed by creating a bike lane at a
height above the vehicular lanes. Separated
bikeways can be either one-way or two-way,
accommodating a single direction of travel or
both. No Class IV separated bikeways currently
exist in the region.

Pedestrian Facilities
Pedestrian facilities provide connections for those
rolling and traveling by foot, and include shareduse paths and trails, sidewalks, and crosswalks.

Class I bikeways, discussed previously, are also
used by pedestrians, and thus frequently known
as shared-use paths or multi-use trails.

Sidewalks are paved areas immediately adjacent
to the vehicular right-of-way for the exclusive
use of pedestrians and may be used by people
riding bicycles unless prohibited. Unlike shareduse paths, they are directly adjacent to the main right-of-way. As with trails, shade is important
to encourage walking in Merced County’s hot
summer climate.

A legal crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked,
in California is designed as the extension of the
sidewalk as a desire line across the road at an
intersection. Marked crosswalks feature striping
and other enhancements to delineate a street
crossing for pedestrians. There are two types of
marked crosswalks:
• Controlled crosswalks are located at
intersections with stop signs or traffic
signals. They provide the most protection
for pedestrians since they require drivers
to come to a complete stop for to people
in the crosswalk. Sharks teeth, or yield
markings, are often installed before a
marked crossing without stop control
to notify motorists to stop and yield to
pedestrians. Opportunities for enhancement
may include adding pedestrian countdowns
during the “Flash Don’t Walk” signal phase;
providing the walk phase during each signal
cycle without having to press the push
button (also referred to as “pedestrian
recall”); prohibiting right turn on red; and
automatically giving pedestrians a leading
pedestrian interval (LPI) at crossings.
• Uncontrolled crosswalks are located at
intersections without stop signs or traffic
signals. In some cases, uncontrolled
crosswalks are also found in the middle
of a larger block to provide quicker access
between streets. Under California law,
drivers are legally required to yield to
pedestrians at uncontrolled crosswalks.

Gaps in sidewalks, missing links in the bikeway
network, and missing crosswalk links are
commonplace in Merced County and pose
significant challenges and barriers to active
transportation.

Connectivity Across Other Modes
Wayfinding
Wayfinding provides orientation and spatial
relationships for users, particularly bicyclists
and pedestrians. While there are a handful
of wayfinding signs in the City of Merced’s
downtown core, wayfinding signage is scarce in
the rest of Merced County.

Roadway Network
Merced County is served by a multimodal
transportation system that incorporates
roadways, railways, airports, pedestrian and
bicycle facilities to aid in the movement of
people and goods throughout the region.

Interstate 5 (I-5) and State Route 99 (SR 99)
provide the primary connection to major cities
within the region and link the county to other
parts of California and beyond. Other state
highways in the County include SR 33, SR 140,
SR 152, and SR 165.

Merced County contains a mix of roadway types
that vary in right-of-way, number of travel lanes,
median type, design speed, and bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure. The Transportation
and Circulation Element in the County General
Plan identifies all major roadways that provide
connections throughout the County.

SR 99 is the primary limited-access highway
serving most of Merced County, directly serving
the communities of Delhi, Buhach, Franklin, and
the Cities of Atwater, Livingston, and Merced.

However, for the communities that it serves,
SR 99 also bisects them and acts as a physical
barrier between neighborhoods. Freeway
crossings are infrequent, and the crossing points
that do exist are often at interchanges featuring
heavy, fast-moving traffic as well as complex
intersection geometries and traffic patterns,
all of which pose safety risks, especially for
bicyclists and pedestrians.

In addition to SR 99, the region is connected
by many arterials that serve large volumes of
traffic, often at high speeds. Some of these are
state routes controlled by Caltrans, while other
roads are controlled by Merced County or local
jurisdictions. In addition to serving as regional
connectors, these roads also pass through cities
and towns around the County, where they
sometimes also serve as main streets in city
business districts. When passing through these
districts, the roads serve pedestrians, bicyclists,
and local vehicle traffic as well as traffic moving
between communities. While posted speed
limits on arterial roadways are generally lower
when they pass through cities and towns,
actual observed speeds and traffic volumes are
nonetheless high, which pose safety risks. In
addition, because they are often designed to
prioritize high volumes of through traffic, they
often do not feature sufficient crossing facilities
in terms of quantity and frequency or quality.

Careful design is required to ensure that these
roads serve all users, are safe for all users,
and do not serve as a barrier to bicyclists and
pedestrians.

Transportation Plan
Transit
A well-planned bicycle and pedestrian network
can facilitate transit use by supporting access
to transit routes and creating first- and lastmile connections between transit stops and destinations. However, as a result of the barriers
present in the roadway network, significant
obstacles exist for accessing transit stations
and stops in Merced County, with the active
transportation network leading to and from
transit services facing many of the same issues
facing roadways countywide. The robust
roadway network, critical for travel and goods
movement, likewise creates challenges in
connectivity.

Transit service is provided via both bus and rail
within the region.

Bus
The Bus, Merced’s Regional Transit System, is
the single public transportation service provider
for all of Merced County. The Bus operates
on 15 fixed-route lines and two deviated fixed
routes throughout the region and provides
paratransit service for qualifying individuals who
cannot access the fixed-route service. The Bus
fixed route services operate from 6:00 a.m. to
8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends.

The Bus also operates “The Micro Bus” an ondemand microtransit service providing local rides within the communities of Dos Palos, Los
Banos, Santa Nella, and Gustine. Users can make
a reservation via a dispatch phone number,
website, or The Micro Bus application on
smartphones. The Micro Bus operates from 6:00
a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekends.

In addition to The Bus, there are other transit
providers in the area providing connections
to Yosemite Park. These operators include the
Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System
(YARTS), VIA Trailways, and Greyhound.

Rail
Passenger rail service is currently provided
by Amtrak on the San Joaquins route, which
connects the City of Merced on a route that runs
from Bakersfield to Stockton, with connecting
services via transfer to Los Angeles, Sacramento,
and the Bay Area. The San Joaquins run seven
days a week, with six trains in each direction.

In addition to passenger rail operated by
Amtrak, various freight railroads run through
Merced County, including the Union Pacific
Railroad (UP), California Northern Railroad
(CFNR), and BNSF Railway currently operate
within the region. Most of the railroad crossings
in the County are at-grade, and at-grade rail
crossings can pose significant barriers for
bicyclists and pedestrians. They may have a hard
time navigating at-grade crossings not designed
with bicycle and pedestrian accessibility in
mind, such as those missing key features such as
sidewalks. Furthermore, with increases in freight
traffic and, in particular, lengths of freight trains,
at-grade rail crossings can often be blocked
for significant lengths of time, which can pose
obstacles for travel and make rail lines barriers
in the communities they pass through.

The development of passenger rail in the region
is poised for significant future investment
through the expansion of the Altamont Corridor
Express (ACE) train service into Merced County
from the north, and California High Speed Rail
(HSR) from the south. ACE will establish service
via new stations in Livingston, Atwater, and
Merced. The Merced Station will also be utilized
by HSR through a proposed elevated track
facility.

While increasing investments in passenger rail
will come with many benefits for mode choice,
proper accommodations for pedestrians and
bicyclists will be necessary at proposed doubletracked rail lines and new station locations to avoid the creation of additional crossing and
accessibility barriers.

Canals and Waterways
Merced County is crisscrossed by a network
of waterways and irrigation canals. While they
are critical to the region’s agricultural industry,
the canals that cover much of Merced County
often suffer from insufficient crossings – the
same issues as the region’s freeways. Moreover,
many crossings that do exist are narrow and lack
sufficient bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure,
and erosion and environmental are also factors
in the long-term durability of existing facilities,
such as the Bear Creek Trail in the City of
Merced. Many of the existing irrigation canals
are already used informally as walking routes,
such as in the City of Dos Palos as a connection
to O’Banion Park. Formalizing additional paths
along canals may present an opportunity
to expand the trail network if thoughtfully
developed to accommodate both agricultural
and transportation uses.

Mode Share and Trip Lengths
The American Community Survey (ACS) collects
statistics on Means of Transportation to Work
for every Census geography level larger than
a block. This dataset estimates the local share
of home-based work travel for workers 16
years and older by foot and bike as well as
other modes. Because the ACS only polls a
representative sample of residents in each
geography per year (on average, about 1% of
the local population), its metrics are bounded by
a margin of error. This analysis only refers to the
ACS mode share metrics at the county level, city
level, and unincorporated community (“Censusdesignated place (CDP)”) level, where sample sizes are large enough and margins of error
small enough for reasonably precise analysis.

The ACS Means of Transportation to Work
dataset is undoubtedly useful for understanding
home-based work commute mode share in
residential areas, but it is less appropriate for
estimating active mode share for all trip types
and beyond residential areas. For example, the
ACS metrics will fail to reflect recreational active
travel in rural areas, active travel by students
from homes to schools, and work-related active
travel to residential areas by domestic workers.

Commute Mode Choice
As seen in Table 3, the walk and bike mode
share for most communities is relatively small, in
the range of zero to three percent. The majority
of residents, 82.7%, commute by car each day.

Zero Vehicle Households
The choice to walk or bike may be impacted by
whether a household has a vehicle available for
trips. If a household has two commuters but
one vehicle, one of the commuters must find
another mode of transportation to work unless
the household carpools. In Merced County, most
households have at least two vehicles available.

Approximately 49.4 percent of households have
over three vehicles available while only 2.6
percent do not have any vehicles available.

Level of Traffic Stress in Bicycle Facilities
Cities and counties around California and
nationwide are using a “level of traffic stress”
(LTS) analysis to help determine the comfort of
bicycling in their communities. An LTS analysis
takes different travel corridor characteristics
into consideration, including the number of
travel lanes, speed of traffic, number of vehicles,
presence of bike lanes, width of bike lanes,
and presence of physical barriers providing
protection from traffic. Based on these variables,
a bicycle facility can be rated with an LTS ranging
from 1 to 4.

The most comfortable (least stressful) facilities
are given an LTS 1 rating. Facilities with this
rating are typically shared-use paths, separated
bikeways, low-volume and low-speed bike
routes, and bike lanes on calm and narrow
streets. The most stressful (least comfortable)
facilities are given an LTS 4 rating. Facilities with
this rating are typically major arterials with
multiple lanes of traffic (with or without bicycle
lanes in some cases, depending on speeds) or
narrower streets with higher speed limits.

Addressing comfort is one of the most
important actions any community can take to
create a more bicycle-friendly transportation
system. Studies have shown that a community’s
interest in biking can be increased by providing
comfortable streets with lower-stress
environments, such as providing protected and
off-road bike facilities, and slowing traffic on
corridors without such facilities.

Attitudes Towards Bicycling
People typically fall into one of four categories
as bicyclists, as shown in Figure 11. When
planning a bicycle network, these categories
can help determine which type of facilities will
provide the most comfortable experience for
riders, thereby encouraging use and mode shift:
• Strong and Fearless People in this group
are highly skilled and have the most riding
experience. They will use their bicycles on
arterials even when there are no bikeways
present. Studies suggest that “strong and
fearless” riders represent less than 1% of
people in a community. This group of riders
will feel comfortable using facilities with any
LTS rating.
• Enthused and Confident This group consists
of skilled riders who are also comfortable
sharing the road but prefer using bikeways
when they are available. “Enthused and
confident” riders make up about 7% of
people in a community. They typically feel
comfortable using facilities with an LTS rating
of 1, 2, or 3.
• Interested but Concerned This group of
people is curious about bicycling and enjoys
riding but are concerned about safety and
therefore do not ride regularly. They typically
avoid riding their bicycles on major arterials
unless there are facilities that provide a
high degree of protection. “Interested but
concerned” riders represent the majority
in a community (around 60%). Riders in
this group may only feel comfortable using
facilities with an LTS rating of 1 or 2.
• No Way No How People in this group are
simply not interested in riding a bicycle.

Riding a bicycle may not appeal to them for
several reasons. It may be inconvenient,
or they may not be physically able to ride.

This group represents approximately 33% of
people in a community.

Collision Analysis
Making streets safer for people walking and
bicycling is a key goal of this Plan. Analysis of
collision records is one way to assess traffic
safety in a community and can help identify
key areas for infrastructure or programmatic
changes that improve safety and comfort for
people walking and bicycling. This section
summarizes the pedestrian- and bicycleinvolved collision trends and high-risk locations in Merced County. This analysis utilizes data
on injury collisions from 2012 through 2021
available through the Transportation Injury
Mapping System (TIMS); this represents the
most recent ten years of data available on TIMS
at the time of the analysis. TIMS reports injury
collisions from the Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System (SWITRS), but excludes collisions
that cause property damage only (PDO) and no
injuries. Geographically, the data includes all
collisions that occur within both incorporated
and unincorporated areas of Merced County.

The data excludes collisions that occur on
limited-access roadways (such as freeways)
but include collisions on all other roadways,
including State highways and other Caltransmaintained roadways, as well as privatelymaintained roadways.

A Note on the Data Source
While collision databases like TIMS remain
the best source of collision data, they
have been found to have certain reporting
biases, including:
• Collisions involving people walking, on
bicycles, or on motorcycles are less
likely to be reported than collisions with
people driving
• Younger victims are less likely to report
collisions
• Alcohol-involved collisions may be
underreported
Race, income, immigration status, and
English proficiency may also impact
reporting, but there is limited research on
these factors.

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Overall Trends
Collisions involving active modes are more
likely to result in severe injury and fatality.

During the ten-year analysis period there were
13,539 collisions resulting in injuries in the study
area. Of these collisions, 794 (6%) were pedestrian
collisions and 688 (5%) were bicycle collisions. These
1,482 collisions involving active modes are the
subject of analysis for this Active Transportation Plan.

As shown in Table 4, of these 1,482 collisions
involving active modes, 330, or 22%, are KSI collisions, collisions that result in someone being killed or
severely injured. However, as shown in Figure 12, the
proportion is significantly lower at 13% for all injury collisions across all modes (that is, including injury
collisions involving vehicles only). This speaks to the fact that people walking or biking are particularly
vulnerable in the event of a collision, as they lack the protection afforded to them by being inside a motor
vehicle. As a result, collisions involving active modes are more likely to result in injury and fatality.

Figures 14 and 15
show the temporal
trends of collisions
involving active
modes in Merced
County. As shown,
both the total number
of injury collisions
and the number of
KSI collisions have
both trended upwards
between 2012 and
2019. While both
the number of all
injury collisions and
the number of KSI
collisions dropped
between 2019 and
2020, this may
reflect traffic trends
during the peak
of the COVID-19
pandemic. The
number of all injury
collisions rebounded
upwards in 2021, and
the number of KSI
collisions hit a new
high in 2021.

Areas Near Schools
Areas adjacent to schools account for the vast
majority of collisions involving active modes.

Countywide, 52% of collisions involving active
modes occur within a quarter mile of K-12
schools, and 82% occur within a half mile.

Comparatively, the percentages of roadway
network within a quarter and half mile of K-12
schools are only 14% and 26%, respectively.

Despite having a small geographic footprint,
areas adjacent to schools are typically focal
points of communities with high levels of bicycle
and pedestrian activity and account for the vast
majority of collisions involving active modes.

Geographic Distribution
The geographic distribution of bicycle and
pedestrian collisions resulting in injury is uneven,
with some communities around Merced County
having higher rates of collisions than others.

Table 5 tabulates these comparisons for each of
the six incorporated cities within Merced County,
the unincorporated County as a whole, and major
unincorporated communities.

The following sections explore particular areas
and contexts of concern for these collisions.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
As shown in Figure 16, drug or alcohol
impairment was involved in 3% of bicycleinvolved collisions and 10% of bicycle KSIs. Drug or alcohol impairment was also involved in 5%
of bicycle-involved collisions and 14% of bicycle
KSIs in Merced County outside Merced and Los
Banos.

As shown in Figure 17, there was drug or alcohol

Merced and Los Banos.

Data suggests that KSI collisions are overrepresented among collisions involving drug or alcohol impairment. This suggests that
reducing driving under the influence may reduce
the severity of collisions for bicyclists and
pedestrians, especially in rural areas.

Lighting Conditions
Data shows that large shares of collisions
involving active modes, and especially
pedestrian and KSI collisions, are occuring in
the dark. The lack of lighting is an especially
pressing concern for these KSI collisions.

As shown in Figure 18, 71% of bicycle-involved
injury collisions occurred in daylight, with the
remaining 29% of collisions occurring in the
nighttime – that is, in either dusk, dawn, or fully
dark conditions. Of these, 20% occurred where
there were no streetlights. However, among
bicycle KSI collisions, the number of nighttime
collisions are significantly higher, with a majority
– 52% – occurring at nighttime. Of these, 31%
occurred where there were no streetlights.

Moreover, outside the larger population centers
within the region, Merced and Los Banos, the
rate of nighttime collisions are higher still, and
the proportion occurring in locations without
streetlights is also noticeably higher. Among
bicycle-involved collisions outside Merced
and Los Banos, 66% occurred in daylight, and
34% occurred in the nighttime. Of these, 51%
occurred where there were no streetlights.

Among bicycle KSI collisions outside Merced and
Los Banos, just 38% occurred in daylight, and a
full 62% occurred at nighttime. Of these, 67%
occurred where there were no streetlights.

As shown in Figure 19, among pedestrianinvolved collisions, a majority overall – 53% – occurred during the nighttime. Of these, 30%
occurred where there were no streetlights.

Among pedestrian-involved KSIs, more than
three-quarters – 76% – occurred in the nighttime.

Of these, 38% occurred where there were no
streetlights. Outside of Merced and Los Banos,
a similar majority of 54% of pedestrian collisions
occurred during the nighttime. Of these, however,
54% occurred where there were no streetlights.

Among pedestrian KSI collisions outside Merced
and Los Banos, four in five occurred in the
nighttime, with just 20% occurring in daylight.

Of the nighttime collisions, 67% occurred where
there were no streetlights.

Data suggests that a large share of bicycle- and
especially pedestrian-involved collisions are
occurring during the nighttime, and KSI collisions
are especially overrepresented among these.

Furthermore, it suggests a major issue with the
availability of street lighting in Merced County,
especially in areas outside major population
centers. Moreover, even when collisions are
reported as occuring where streetlights are
present and functional, lack of adequate lighting
may still be a major contributing factor. The
quality of lighting can vary widely: streetlights can
be insufficiently bright, placed too widely apart,
or have poor coverage of people walking and
bicycling outside the main travel lanes.

Demographic Metrics
Disadvantaged communities see
disproportionate numbers of bicycleand pedestrian-involved collisions.

Population analysis identifies the size, structure,
and distribution of people in a study area and
helps understand trends to estimate future
needs. This is particularly important in a diverse
and growing region like Merced County. Table
6 provides a countywide and incorporated
cities’ breakdown of population, age, and racial
identity followed by jurisdictional descriptions.

There are a number of demographic metrics
considered as part of this Plan to identify
disadvantaged communities, including the
Healthy Places Index, CalEnviroScreen 4.0,
median household income, and rate of
eligibility for free or reduced priced meals in the
National School Lunch Program. The California
Transportation Commission (CTC) identifies
these metrics as qualifiers for communities being
disadvantaged in the 2025 Active Transportation
Program Guidelines. This project uses the metrics
for disadvantaged communities identified by the
CTC to identify whether collisions are happening
disproportionately in them. Cross-referencing
collision data indicates that disadvantaged
communities see disproportionate numbers of
bicycle- and pedestrian-involved collisions.

In addition, the Federal government has
introduced a number of tools that it uses to
identify disadvantaged communities. Two
of these, the Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool (CEJST) and the Equitable
Transportation Communities (ETC) Explorer, are
explored in this section.

Free or Reduced Price Meals
Eligibility to receive free or reduced-price meals
under the National School Lunch Program is an
indicator of child poverty. CTC qualifies areas
where at least 75% of public-school students are
eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals as
disadvantaged.

Areas in Merced within a quarter mile of a
school with 75% or more of students eligible for
free or reduced-price meals are home to 46%
of pedestrian- and bicycle-involved collisions,
but only 10% of the roadway network. Areas in
Merced within a half mile of a school with 75%
or more of students eligible for free or reducedprice meals are home to 75% of pedestrian- and bicycle-involved collisions, but only 22% of the
roadway network.

A Note on Funding
SB99 specifies that 25% of funds for active
transportation plans must directly benefit
disadvantaged communities. To fulfil this
requirement, a proposed project must be
located within or be within reasonable
proximity to a disadvantaged community.

CalEnviroScreen
CalEnviroScreen 4.0 aggregates a variety
of metrics to identify communities that are
disproportionately vulnerable to pollution and
environmental burdens. The CTC qualifies areas
that scores in CalEnviroScreen's top quartile
as disadvantaged communities. Areas with a
CalEnviroScreen score above than the 75th
percentile are home to 79% of pedestrian- and
bicycle-involved collisions, but only 65% of the
roadway network.

Healthy Places Index (HPI)
The Healthy Places Index uses 25 community
characteristics to define a composite score of an
area’s health. The CTC qualifies areas that scores
in the Healthy Places Index’s bottom quartile as
disadvantaged communities. Areas with a Healthy
Places Index score below the 25th percentile are
home to 70% of pedestrian- and bicycle-involved
collisions, but only 56% of the roadway network.

Median Household Income
CTC qualifies areas where the median household
income is less than 80% of the statewide median
income as disadvantaged communities. California’s
median household income in 2018 was $71,228,
and 80% of this is $56,982. Areas where the 2018
median household income was below $56,982 are
home to 75% of pedestrian- and bicycle-involved
collisions, but only 55% of the roadway network.

CEJST Results
The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool
(CEJST) is maintained by the Federal Council on
Environmental Quality and used by many Federal
programs as a means of identifying disadvantaged
communities. Census tracts are screened
based on a variety of factors, including climate,
energy, health, housing, transportation, legacy
pollution, waste, and workforce development.

51 Engaging The
Community
Input from residents and stakeholders of the
diverse communities across the region was
a fundamental part of the ATP development
process. Comprehensive engagement is critical
to ensure that recommended projects serve
the walking and biking needs of the community.

Outreach to the public helped to identify
locations for needed improvements, important
destinations for access, and refine preferences for
Mayor’s Bike Ride
Merced, 5/20/2023
types of treatments. Participation was solicited
through in-person and virtual workshops and
focus groups with community members, a
landing page on the MCAG website that links
to the project website, which was produced
in English and Spanish and includes a link to a
survey and interactive webmap, as well as various
in-person events throughout the region.

Page 134 of 256 ends

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Project Website
A website for the project, accessible from
phones, tablets, and computers, was created
in English and Spanish. The project website
included an overview of the project, dates and
times for outreach events, and an interactive
map and survey that allowed the public to
identify where there are existing challenges
to safety walk or bike and help prioritize the
recommendations included in this plan.

Overall, 195 responses were received on the
survey and 84 comments were received on the
project website.

Feedback provided on the website illustrated
the following themes:
• Safe Routes to School There is broad
support for creating better routes for
children to access schools.
• Speeding Insufficient measures in place to
prevent cars from speeding.
• Need for Sidewalks Need for more sidewalks
throughout the region to complete the
pedestrian network and decrease barriers
for walking.
• Insufficient Lighting Insufficient streetlights
throughout the region, with a particular
emphasis on rural rounds surrounding the
City of Merced.
• Poor Road Infrastructure The conditions of
some roads makes travel feel dangerous due
to potholes, steep slope changes, and a lack
of pavement.
• Difficult Crossings and Intersections A
handful of locations throughout the region
lack safe crossings and proper signage or
control devices.
• Bike Lane Quality Existing bike lanes are too
narrow and often times are on roads with
potholes and uneven surfaces.
• Bike Parking Bicycle parking is insufficient
or in some instances has been removed
without replacement. Respondents have
called for the need of also increasing safety
measures to prevent bicycle theft.
• Bike/Ped Connectivity Numerous segments
throughout the region that have gaps in
the network or end abruptly, impairing the
comfort for bicyclists and pedestrians.
• ADA Accessibility Insufficient opportunities
to cross for users with disabilities.
• Sight Difficulties The topography of the
street such as dips or curves increases
the discomfort for driving and difficulty of
identifying pedestrians and bicyclists.
• Separation of Traffic It is difficult for
bicyclists and vehicles to share the roads due
to road width and lack of protection.
• Traffic Flow Some of the control devices
throughout the region are not optimized for
efficiency, leading to longer queues.

Stakeholder Focus Groups
A series of Stakeholder Focus Groups were
conducted in February 2023 as part of the
existing conditions analysis. The goal of
these meetings was to obtain feedback on
existing challenges for biking and walking for
various interest groups, to build community
relationships and inform future engagement
efforts, and to discuss goals and measures of
success for the project overall. Invitations were
sent to representatives from approximately
45 stakeholder organizations and 119 school
sites. Participants in the focus group meetings
included representatives from schools, social
service organizations, transit providers,
non-profits, and agency staff including local
jurisdictions and Caltrans.

Key themes that emerged from these meetings
included:
• Staff resources are limited at local agencies
which makes it challenging to advance
projects
• Lack of knowledge about available funding
and how to pursue competitive grants
• Desire for better connectivity to transit,
including stops for local services and access
to upcoming rail projects
• Need for better crossings over railroad
tracks, which are challenging for people in
wheelchairs or using mobility devices
• Overall lack of accessible pedestrian
treatments countywide, and a particular
need for ramps and audible signals at busy
intersections
• Concern over post-crash care in rural
communities that have long response times,
or don’t have ambulance or emergency
services readily available
• General support for more robust, lowerstress treatments that separate bicyclists and pedestrians from traffic
• Support for raised crosswalks as a way to
calm traffic and increase pedestrian visibility
• Support for programs that promote bicycling
skills and education at all levels of school
• Improvements to social and physical health
should be a goal/outcome of this project
• Desire for safe ways to access places like the
Merced River or more regional recreational
facilities

Community Pop-Ups
To meet people where they are, rather than
requiring them to come to a meeting specifically
for the ATP, project staff hosted booths at
local events whenever available. These events
provided the opportunity for the engagement of
a broader cross-section of the public than that
which would attend a typical project-specific
public meeting. Pop-ups were held at the
following events.

Project Development Field Review
A series of in-person field visits were conducted
in each jurisdiction and unincorporated
communities during the project development
phase. The project team met directly with
agency staff and toured focus areas for
each community on foot and by car. Field
observations and feedback from staff directly
informed project development, as discussed in
Chapter 5.

Draft Plan Virtual Workshops
To solicit feedback on the draft plan, virtual
workshops were held on March 27 and 28 to
present the proposed improvements and gather
feedback from the public. The virtual workshops
were publicized on the project website and
MCAG outreach channels, as well as through the
standing committees of MCAG.

Public comment on the draft plan was solicited
for 30 days. Changes were incorporated into the
final version of this plan based on comments
received, including:
• Minor editorial update---s to text
• Revisions to the City of Livingston project list
and maps
• Project additions in the City of Merced
• Inclusion of projects and maps from the City
of Gustine Active Transportation Plan
• Planning level costs for each proposed
project

57 Active Transportation
Toolbox
This chapter discusses best practices for bicycle
and pedestrian infrastructure projects and
non-infrastructure programs. It is focused
on recommendations useful for the shared
contextual characteristics of communities
around the region. Because no general design
guide can cover the unique characteristics of
every location, this guidance should be used
in conjunction with study of each individual
location, engineering judgment, and other
necessary considerations as appropriate for
each individual application.

New projects and programs are most likely to
be successful when implemented in partnership
with the community. Strategies for public
engagement include:
• Talking to the community to understand
their desires and priorities
• Implementing new types of facilities
incrementally to generate feedback and
support
• Publicizing projects and educating the public
on the changes to be implemented and their

This toolbox draws on research and emphasizes
engineering judgment, design flexibility,
documentation, and experimentation.

What Are Complete Streets?
Complete Streets are designed to prioritize
safety, comfort, and access to destinations
for users of all ages and abilities, and
for all modes of travel, including active
transportation modes. Complete Streets are
unique to a community’s context and the
needs of the surrounding area. A complete
street design often balances benefits for
those walking, biking, and taking transit,
including improvements such as safety
enhancements at crosswalks, better bus
stop waiting areas, and enhanced bicycle
facilities.

The best practices discussed in this Toolbox
will contribute to the development of
Complete Streets in the region.

Bikeways
Several types of bikeways and supporting
facilities come together to form a complete
bicycle network. Bikeways are classified in
Chapter 1000 of the Highway Design Manual
into four primary types, arranged in order from
most separated and protected to least:
• Class I shared-use paths (bike paths)
• Class IV separated bikeways (cycle tracks)
• Class II bike lanes (includes buffered bike
lanes)
• Class III bike routes (shared lanes or bike
boulevards)
Bikeway Selection
The FHWA Bikeway Selection Guide and the
League of American Bicyclists Benchmarking
Bike Networks are good references for selecting
bikeway types based on local conditions. Three
primary goals are important in guiding bikeway
selection:
• Safety: Reducing the frequency and severity
of crashes and minimizing conflicts
between users.
• Comfort: Minimizing stress, anxiety, and
safety concerns for the target design user.
(Comfort and safety are closely related.)
• Connectivity: Making trips direct and
convenient and offering access to all
destinations served by the roadway network
and creating seamless and clear transitions
between bikeways and general roadways.

Figure 25 is a graphic exerpted from from the
guide that indicates the ideal bikeway type
based on vehicle volume and speed. In this
graphic and in the following section, bikeways
are arranged in order from the most separation
and protection from traffic to the least.

Other factors such as available right-of-way
and cost may also influence bikeway selection,
especially when retrofitting bikeways onto
existing streets. Curb-to-curb width and parking
considerations in older neighborhoods can
present challenges to design. As described in the
guide, other such factors include:
• Unusually high peak hour motor vehicle
volumes
• High percentages of trucks and buses
• High parking turnover or curbside activity
• Frequent driveways or intersections
• High concentrations of vulnerable
populations such as children and older
adults
If the preferred bikeway cannot be provided,
the next best bikeway should be considered, as
it still may increase comfort and safety for more
confident bicyclists. Alternative parallel routes
may also be considered trespassing.

Transportation Plan
Class I Bikeway: Shared-Use Path
Design Principles
• Use where maximum separation from traffic
is desired and right-of-way is available.
• Best in locations with little cross-flow.
• For a two-way path, provide a width of at
least eight feet with a two-foot shoulder; 10
feet with a two-foot shoulder is preferred.
• For a one-way path, typically only used
when transitioning to an on-street bikeway,
provide a width of at least five feet and a
two-foot shoulder.
• Include street crossings with measures
such as bike and pedestrian activated traffic
signals, median islands, and warning signs.
• At freeways, highways, and railroads,
consider grade-separated crossings.
• Include curb ramps and curb cuts that are
convenient and conform to the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA).
• Ensure adequate path width, sight distance,
and drainage.
• Include wayfinding signs for easier
navigation.
• Provide shade to encourage use.
• Include scenic attributes such as landscaping
and trail placement highlighting views.

Maintenance
• Conduct maintenance frequently to avoid
hazards such as tree root cracking and
debris.
• Refresh faded striping and repair or replace
damaged or faded signage.
• Maintain adequate vegetation clearance.

Class II Bikeway: Shared-Use Path
Design Principles
• Provide a width of at least five feet. At least
three feet should be clear of any gutter pan.
• Minimize vehicle travel and parking lane
widths to reduce vehicle speeds and create
safer roadway conditions for all users, and to
provide maximum bike lane widths to allow
bicyclists to pass other riders safely and
navigate around parked cars and other road
hazards.
• As available roadway width for the bike lane
increases beyond five feet, consider use of
painted buffers:
• Left-side painted buffers on bike lanes
improve separation between bicycles and
vehicles. They are especially useful in cases
with vehicle speeds that are greater than 25
miles per hour.
• Right-side painted buffers can be added
between parallel parked cars and the bike
lane to create separation from the door
zone, the space in which a driver may open
their car door and hit a bicyclist.
• Lane striping (six inches wide) should be
dashed through heavily trafficked merging
areas, including turn lanes at intersection
approaches. Refer to California MUTCD
Section 9C.04 for guidance.
• May use skipped green markings in conflict
zones.
• Design drainage grates to avoid catching
bicycle tires.

Maintenance
• Conduct maintenance frequently to prevent
and remedy roadway hazards such as
potholes and debris.
• Refresh faded striping and repair or replace
damaged or faded signage.

Class III Bikeway: Bike Route
Dedicated visible space for bicyclists to
wait in front of vehicle traffic at a signalized
intersection. Provide bicyclists priority crossing
major streets. May span the entire approach,
allowing bicyclists safe waiting zones for left
turns, or may be placed only in front of the
right-turn lane. Colored pavement, typically
green, should be used to encourage compliance
by motorists.

Design Principles
• Shoulders are preferable but not required.
• Sharrow markings can be used to alert
drivers to presence of bikes.

Maintenance
• Conduct maintenance frequently to prevent
and remedy roadway hazards such as
potholes and debris
• Refresh faded striping and repair or replace
damaged or faded signage.

Class IV Bikeway: Separated Bikeway
Dedicated visible space for bicyclists to
wait in front of vehicle traffic at a signalized
intersection. Provide bicyclists priority crossing
major streets. May span the entire approach,
allowing bicyclists safe waiting zones for left
turns, or may be placed only in front of the
right-turn lane. Colored pavement, typically
green, should be used to encourage compliance
by motorists.

Design Principles
• Preferred bike lane width is seven feet to
allow for passing and maintenance. Also
consider minimum width achievable by
street sweeper.
• Minimum buffer width should be 18 inches,
or three feet with parked cars.
• Best placed in areas with fewer driveways to
minimize conflicts with motor vehicles.
• Require wider right-of-way than Class II bike
lanes.
• Require careful design of appropriate
intersection treatments.
• May use skipped green markings in conflict
zones.
• Design drainage grates to avoid catching
bicycle tires.

Maintenance
• Conduct maintenance frequently to avoid
roadway hazards such as potholes and
debris. Smaller street cleaning equipment
may be required to fit between the curb and
barrier.
• Maintain posts, bollards, or other physical
buffer.
• Refresh faded striping and repair or replace
damaged or faded signage.

Green-Colored Pavement
Green markings used in high volume
intersections and busy driveway locations.

Use skipped green in weaving areas or conflict
zones. May be installed with either paint or
thermoplastic. Thermoplastic is initially more
expensive, but less expensive when considering
maintenance life cycle costs. Although not yet
incorporated into the California Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the
FHWA MUTCD provides guidance on its use.

Approach, it is important to focus on vulnerable
populations such as school children and seniors.

Use
Supplemental marking in high conflict areas to
improve safety.

Benefits
Calls attention to vehicle/bicycle conflict areas.

Challenges
Less effective if overused.

Through Bike Lanes
Through bike lanes reduce conflicts at
intersections by allowing bicyclists to follow
the preferred travel path, ideally a straight
connection from the preceding bike lane.

Traveling at intersections can be particularly
challenging if the bike lane ends prior to the
intersection forcing a merge with vehicle traffic.

Continuing the bicycle lane to the intersection
approach provides bicyclists the opportunity to
avoid conflicts with turning vehicles. Through
bike lanes should be placed to the left of the
right-turn only lane. Dotted lines are used to
signify the merge area that motorists traverse to
get to the right-turn lane.

Use
Intersections where vehicle lanes conflict with
bike lanes.

Benefits
Reduce conflict between through bicyclists and
turning vehicles.

Challenges
Typically used with Class II bike lanes and not
appropriate for use with Class IV separated
bikeways.

Bicycle Boxes
Dedicated visible space for bicyclists to wait in
front of vehicle traffic at a signalized intersection.

Provide bicyclists priority crossing major streets.

May span the entire approach, allowing bicyclists
safe waiting zones for left turns, or may be placed
only in front of the right-turn lane. Colored
pavement, typically green, should be used to
encourage compliance by motorists.

Use
At signalized intersections with a high volume of
bicycles, especially those making left turns.

Benefits
Facilitate left-turn movements for bicyclists,
reduce right-hook conflicts with right-turning
vehicles and also reduces vehicle encroachment
into crosswalks.

Challenges
Requires restriction of right turns on red and
colored pavement increases maintenance costs.

Two-Stage Turn Box
Space outside of the vehicle path for bicyclists
to make a left turn. During the green signal,
bicyclists proceed through the intersection until
reaching the box on the right-hand side. The
bicyclist will be able to turn left in the bicycle
box and wait for the green signal to continue
through the intersection, thus making a left
turn.

Use
At signalized intersections on roadways with
high speeds and multiple lanes.

Benefits
Increase safety for left turning cyclists.

Challenges
Requires restriction of right turns on red and
colored pavement increases maintenance costs.

Bicycle Parking
Several types of bikeways and supporting Bicycle
parking encourages ridership by supporting the
final stage of a bicycle trip. Locations with high
ridership are excellent candidates for bicycle
parking, including civic, residential, commercial,
and office spaces. At these locations, both
short-term and long-term parking should be
accommodated.

New bicycle parking should meet the standards
discussed above. Both short- and long-term
bicycle parking should be supplied where
appropriate, such as at schools, parks, grocery
stores, and other key destinations. Business
owners should be encouraged to work with the
City to provide bicycle parking in visible areas in
commercial districts to entice riders to stop and
frequent local businesses.

Short-Term Bicycle Parking
Short-term bicycle parking is temporary bicycle
parking intended for visitors. Bicycle racks
are a common form of short-term parking.

Bicycle racks in front of stores and other
destinations allow patrons to park their bike
for short periods. Bike parking should be
located in well-lit areas to discourage theft.

Installing permanent bicycle racks near main
entrances also helps bicyclists feel welcome and
encourages them to ride their bicycle again on a
return trip. Bicycle racks that allow at least two
points of contact, such as the wheel and frame,
provide the most protection against theft and
accidental damage.

Long-Term Bicycle Parking
Long-term bicycle parking is intended for
employees, students, commuters, and residents
to protect bicycles for extended periods. Longterm facilities are more secure than short-term bicycle parking and should fully protect bicycles
from theft and weather.

Long-term bicycle parking includes bike lockers,
bike cages, and bike rooms:
• Bike lockers are outdoor enclosures that
accommodate one or two bicycles and are
usually leased on a monthly basis or paid
short-term use.
• Bike cages are fully enclosed, roofed shelters
that house racks of bicycle parking, typically
found at schools.
• Bicycle rooms are found inside office or
residential buildings, and provide secure
indoor parking. Bicycle rooms may feature
amenities such as bike pumps and quick-fix
tools for employees and residents.

Transportation Plan
Pedestrian Facilities
Pedestrian facilities include sidewalks and
crosswalks, which, with some exceptions, are
primarily for pedestrian use. Some types of
facilities are shared by both pedestrians and
bicyclists. Each of these facilities are described
earlier in this toolkit:
• Class I shared-use path
• Class III bike route with multi-use shoulder
Sidewalks
Paved areas immediately adjacent to the
vehicular right-of-way for the exclusive use of
pedestrians. They may be used by people riding
bicycles unless prohibited.

Design Principles
• Usable width should generally be five feet or
more
• Crossings of driveways should be at grade
• Street trees and landscaping provide shade
and comfort
• Slower vehicle speeds on the adjacent
roadway increase comfort
• Pedestrian-scale lighting can increase safety
and security for pedestrian walking outside
of daylight hours.

Marked Crosswalks
Feature striping and other enhancements to
delineate a street crossing for pedestrians.

There are two types of marked crosswalks:
• Controlled: With vehicle stop signs or traffic
signals.
• Uncontrolled: Without stop signs or traffic
signals. Under California law, drivers are
legally required to yield to pedestrians at
uncontrolled crosswalks.

Design Principles
• Although not yet incorporated into the
California MUTCD, the FHWA MUTCD
provides guidance on when to mark a
crosswalk.
• Of the six designs below from the California
MUTCD, all except the Standard markings
are considered to be high visibility, more
easily discerned by drivers.
• Lines in a Continental, Double Continental,
or Bar Pair marking should be spaced to
avoid the wheel path of vehicles and thus
reduce striping maintenance.
• Use stop lines and yield lines in conjunction
with signs at crosswalks, as described in the
California MUTCD, to improve driver yielding
to pedestrians.
66

Complementary Pedestrian Treatments
The following treatments should be used with
sidewalks and crosswalks as warranted. The
FHWA Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety
and Uncontrolled Crossing Locations contains
detailed guidance for selecting appropriate
treatments, visualized as the matrix shown in
Figure 29. Key inputs are roadway configuration
(including number of lanes and presence of a
median), vehicle annual average daily traffic
Source: FHWA
(AADT), and posted speed limit. Refer to the
Guide for additional recommendations on
treatment application. The Guide also provides
information on pedestrian collision analysis and
selection of countermeasures base on collision
analysis. Use that information when applying
countermeasures in response to collision history
or systemic safety analysis.

Curb Extensions
Curb extensions, also known as bulb-outs,
decrease the pedestrian crossing distance
at intersections and improve the visibility of
pedestrians waiting to cross the street.

Benefits
Reduces time pedestrians are exposed to
vehicles.

Challenges
Potential for higher cost due to drainage
accommodations.

Median Refuge Islands
Allow pedestrians to cross one direction of
traffic then wait in the center of the street to
cross the other direction of traffic.

Design Principles
• Use on roadways with few gaps in traffic.
• Consider in locations with existing medians.
• If no medians are existing, consider creating
space by eliminating on-street parking or
narrowing vehicle travel lanes.
• Split pedestrian crossover refuge islands,
generally used at uncontrolled mid-block
locations, encourage pedestrians to look
towards the oncoming direction of traffic
before completing the crossing.

Benefits
Reduce time pedestrians are exposed to vehicles
and narrows roadway, reducing speeds.

Challenges
May restrict or inhibit left turning vehicles.

Figure 30 Curb Extensions at an Intersection Figure 31 Median Refuge Island 68

Page 151 of 256 ends

Warning Signage
Improves visibility of crosswalks and increase
the likelihood that a driver will yield or stop
to pedestrians. Additional signage in school
zones helps alert drivers that children, who
are known to make unpredictable movements,
may be present. An example from the MUTCD
demonstrating use of both pavement markings
and signs is shown below.

Design Principles
• In-street signs are ideal for streets with low
vehicle speeds and two lanes. They can be
permanently installed or movable for peak
hours such as pick-up/drop-off times at
schools.
• Overhead signs are more impactful at busier,
wider streets. These are typically installed at
mid-block crossings or intersections.

Raised Crosswalk
Pedestrian crossings raised to sidewalk level or
just below. Act as traffic calming device.

Design principles
• Should not be constructed on streets with
sharp curves or steep grades.
• Tactile treatments are needed at the
sidewalk/street boundary so that visually
impaired pedestrians can identify the edge
of the street.

Benefits
Effective in reducing vehicle speed and allows
pedestrian to cross at a nearly constant grade
without requiring curb ramps.

Challenges
May be have higher costs due to drainage
infrastructure.

Page 152 of 256 ends

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Figure 33 Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are
a type of pedestrian activated warning beacon
that improve driver-yielding rates. They consist
of rapid-flash system LED beacons that are
similar in operation to emergency flashers on
police vehicles.

RRFBs have generally shown the greatest
effectiveness among the types of pedestrian
activated warning beacons. Some jurisdictions
also use signs with flashing LEDs within the
border of the sign itself. However, these
treatments have not been demonstrated to have
efficacy comparable to RRFBs.

Benefits
Increases driver yielding and can lead to
reduction in pedestrian crashes.

Challenges
Requires pedestrian activation and does not
stop traffic, but require vehicles to yield.

Traffic Signal
When warranted based on the applicable
signal warrants in the California MUTCD, a
traffic signal to allow pedestrians to utilize a
marked crosswalk safely may be appropriate.

Countdown pedestrian signal heads should
be used at all traffic signals, except where
pedestrian crossing is prohibited.

Use
At signalized intersections on roadways with
high speeds and multiple lanes.

Benefits
Reduces pedestrian-vehicle conflict points.

Challenges
May increase waiting times for pedestrians and
drivers and high cost.
70

Page 153 of 256 ends

Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs), also known
as High-intensity Activated crossWalKs or HAWK
signals, require vehicles to stop at a red light to
allow pedestrians to cross. PHBs are ideal for
roadways that are higher speeds and volumes
than a rectangular rapid flashing beacon, but do
not require a full pedestrian signal. They should
only be installed in locations that include a
marked crosswalk. The MUTCD provides details
on use of PHBs.

PHBs operate with the following phases:

1. Flashing Yellow – Upon actuation, beacon
flashes yellow

2. Solid Yellow – Alerts drivers pedestrians will
soon cross

3. Solid Red – Drivers must stop and remain
stopped

4. Flashing Red – Drivers stop and proceed
when clear, as they would with a stop sign

5. No Indication – Signal is dark when not
actuated
Benefits
Increases driver yielding and can lead to
reduction in pedestrian crashes.

Challenges
Similar cost to a pedestrian signal
Figure 34 Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Leading Pedestrian Interval
A leading pedestrian interval (LPI) allows
pedestrians to begin crossing a signalized
intersection before vehicles begin moving by
providing a walk signal three to seven seconds
before the corresponding vehicle signal turns
green.

Benefits
Makes pedestrians more visible amd emphasizes
pedestrian right-of-way.

Challenges
May increase waiting times for drivers.

Tighten Curb Radii
Tighter curb-return radii require vehicles to slow
to turn more sharply at intersections. Reduced
vehicle speeds increase driver awareness and
thus reduce collision frequency. Slower vehicle
speeds also decrease injury severity when
collisions occur.

Design Principles
• Design should limit turning speeds to 15
miles per hour or less.
• Land use context and design vehicles
should be considered when reducing radii;
industrial areas with frequent truck traffic
may require larger radii than commercial or
residential areas.

Benefits
Reduce vehicle speeds and reduces pedestrian
crossing distances.

Challenges
Can be costly to retrofit on existing streets
and drainage and storm sewers need to be
considered especially when retrofit.

Pedestrian Scramble
Intersection treatments that include a
pedestrian-only phase in the traffic signal
cycle, when pedestrians are able to cross in all
directions including to the opposite corner by
traveling through the middle of the intersection.

Pedestrian scrambles and diagonal crosswalks
allow pedestrians to cross more efficiently,
directly to their destination. Recommended
for intersections with high pedestrian volumes
crossing multiple crosswalks.

Figure 36
Pedestrian Scramble at an Intersection
Benefits
Allows pedestrians to cross more directly,
emphasizes pedestrian right-of-way and
eliminates conflict between turning vehicles and
pedestrians.

Challenges
Pedestrian-only phase may increase vehicle
waiting time.

Merced Regional Active
Transportation Plan
Other Treatments & Support Facilities
Some improvements can serve both bicyclists
and pedestrians and can be used in combination
with other treatments.

Traffic Calming
Traffic calming devices include a wide range
of design treatments capable reducing vehicle
speeds and thus improving the safety and
comfort of the transportation network for all
users. Reducing vehicle speeds makes travel
safer for both bicycles and pedestrians.

Vertical deflection devices cause drivers to
experience a physical response that is aggravated
when traveling at high speeds. Many existing
streets can be retrofitted with vertical measures.

Horizontal deflection devices are used to deflect
vehicles from traveling at high speeds. Horizontal
deflection measures require drivers to navigate
laterally and consequentially reduce speed.

Narrowing traffic calming devices are a subcategory of horizontal deflection traffic calming devices. Wider roads are associated with
greater crash rates and higher impact speeds.

Narrowing roadways often leads to decreased
vehicle speeds and improves safety.

Restriping narrower travel lanes for vehicle
traffic via centerline and edgeline striping
can reduce motor vehicle speed. Cross-hatch
pavement marking applied to outer edge of a
roadway to create a shoulder and reduce lane
widths if the space is not used for a bike lane or
parking. In many locations, interior traffic lanes
can be narrowed to 10 feet or less to encourage
lower speeds. Narrow lanes can make room in
the roadway right of way for painted medians,
center turn lanes, bicycle lanes, or parking.
74

Page 157 of 256 ends

Road Diets
Road diets reduce the number of travel lanes.

This is typically done by converting a four lane
road into a three lane road with a two-way-leftturn lane and bike lanes. The space created by removing lanes can also be used for painted
medians or parking.

Design Principles
Use on roadways with current and expected
future ADT approximately 20,000 or less.

Benefits
Helps to reduce speeds, reduces conflicts
at crossings, can increase the separation of
pedestrians from traffic.

Challenges
Can be expensive.

Wayfinding
Wayfinding refers to the network of
informational signage posted to guide
pedestrians or bicyclists to their destination.

Good wayfinding signage presents destination,
direction, and distance information in a
manner that is easy to read and interpret.

Bicycle specific wayfinding must be tailored
so that bicyclists can see the information from
a comfortable distance. Signs posted at trail
junctions and intersections of trails with arterials
are particularly helpful. Guidance on sign design
and installation is available in Chapter 9B of the
California MUTCD and the National Association
of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) design
guidelines. Wayfinding signage can also be
enhanced with average walk times and bike
times to destinations and local branding.

Lighting
Sufficient lighting on bicycle and pedestrian
facilities prevents collisions that occur due to
decreased visibility. Pedestrian walkways should
have lighting that allows people to identify faces
from a distance of about 30 feet. Lighting should
be consistent to reduce deep shadows and
avoid excessive glare. It is necessary to maintain
conventional light fixtures regularly, keeping lamp
bowls clean and promptly replacing bulbs that
have burnt out. Newer light emitting diode (LED)
fixtures, which have much longer bulb life, have
greatly decreased maintenance requirements.

Non-Infrastructure Best Practices
In addition to physical changes to the
transportation system, other programs can also
benefit pedestrians and bicyclists.

Education
Bicycle and Pedestrian Education for Children
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs are
effective ways to make walking and bicycling
to school safer and more accessible for
children, including those with disabilities,
and to increase the number of children who
choose to walk and bicycle. Creation of a
SRTS Program typically includes identifying
local stakeholders, identification of issues and
solutions, and creation of a plan including
encouragement, enforcement, education, and
engineering strategies. These strategies should
be accompanied by a timeline with prioritization
and a funding approach3
.

Educating school-aged children on safe bicycling
is important to establish active habits and travel
behaviors early in life. There are a number
of different programs and approaches, both
formal and informal, which are effective in
educating kids about safe bicycling. Kidical
Mass is one event, which closes sections of
roadway to vehicles, usually a route near the
local elementary school, to allow families to ride
their bikes without traffic. This empowers kids
and families to get on their bikes and familiarizes
them with the bike route to school4
.

Bicycle Education for Adults
The League of American Bicyclists has a number
of resources to teach safe bicycling including
informational packets, curricula, and courses
with trained instructors. The Smart Cycling Quick
Guide (http://bikeleague.org/quickguide) is an
easy-to-read booklet that outlines the basics
of a bike, rules of the road, and the knowledge
everyone needs to know to ride a bike on a
range of facility types safely and confidently.

For a short summary, the League of American
Bicyclists has a page of Smart Cycling Tips for
biking safely including maintenance and trail
etiquette5
.

Bicycle Ambassadors
Bicycle ambassadors are either volunteers from
the community or employees of local advocacy
groups that take a leading role in educating,
encouraging, and activating the community
to be a safer and more comfortable place for
bicyclists. Ambassadors have undergone a
safety education course and are also supplied
with maintenance and educational resources to
distribute to the community both formally and
informally. This educational model empowers
community members through a bottom-up
approach to improving bicycle safety and mode
share. Some examples of bicycle ambassador
programs include Fort Collins, Missoula, and
Washington, DC6

Encouragement
Encouragement can occur through local groups
and regular events and campaigns. Local schools
can encourage biking and walking through
bike rodeos, fun runs, walkathons, and bike/
walk/roll to school events. Programs such as
“walking school buses,” a program where kids
and families walk to school in groups, are other
good opportunities for neighborhood schools
to encourage walking. Local running, walking,
hiking, and biking events also encourage active
engagement for adults. Bike to work events are
also useful to encourage adult bicycling.

Typical campaigns are often focused on
videos and downloadable materials or public
advertisements on buses or public billboards.

These campaign messages can be reformatted
to reach wider audiences through social media
communication tactics. Key messages can be
finessed to reach target areas and groups.

Training
It is important for the police department to
include collision reporting and bicycle and
pedestrian rules of the road into their training.

There are a number of resources from other
communities and national sources that can be
used, such as a video resource created by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHSTA).7

7 http://www.nhtsa.gov/multimedia/bicycles/bicycle_safety_LE.wmv Enforcement
Proper enforcement is important to ensuring
the safety of the street network for bicyclists
and pedestrians. This is done through proper
training of law enforcement, increasing the
safety of bicyclists and pedestrians, theft
prevention, and the proper pairing of education
and enforcement.

Local law enforcement can partner with schools
to step up enforcement of good motor vehicle
behaviors around pedestrians and bicyclists at
the beginning of the school year. Continuing this
effort periodically throughout the school year
and expanding it to other places frequented by
pedestrians and bicyclists can further help active
transportation.

Bicycle Patrol Units
Bicycle fleet officers improve the relationship
between officers and bicyclists and improve the
effectiveness of enforcement for all modes as it
affects bicyclists’ safety.

Speed Management
Raising awareness of speeding is important
at a neighborhood level and can be achieved
through local events and education. Residents
are less likely to speed if they know their
neighbors.

Speed monitoring programs train residents in
using radar detectors which then distribute
warnings to speeding vehicles. This type of
program helps residents understand that this is
a local and personal issue and the importance
of driving the speed limit. Pairing education
with enforcement by distributing warnings
and educational materials before giving tickets
provides drivers with a deeper understanding of
the law and its value.

Speed feedback signs and radar trailers that
display real-time signs and flash when drivers
exceed the limit. Radar trailers are appropriate
on a temporary basis only. These treatments
are useful on corridors with prevalent cases of
speeding that lack room for physical measures
or in conjunction with recent construction of
physical measures.

However, speed monitoring and feedback signs
may have only temporary effectiveness as
drivers grow accustomed to their presence.

Police Participation in Education
Safety, as discussed in the Education section,
can also be applied as a responsibility of the
police department. Officers practice this by
distributing literature on safe pedestrian habits
as part of enforcement efforts and meetings and
events with students and the public. This can
include education on proper helmet use, light
giveaways, and targeting infractions.

Bicycle Diversion Programs
Bicycle diversion programs provide bicyclists who
are cited for certain infractions the option to
attend a bicycle safety class rather than paying a
ticket. This educational component is associated
with a greater degree of lasting behavior change.

Bike Theft
The fear and reality of bike theft can be a barrier
to bicycling for all users. Recommendations for
reducing bike theft include improving locking
practices through education, providing adequate
bicycle parking facilities, providing bicycle
registration, providing recovery resources and
programs, and offender detection such as bait
bikes.

Electric Mobility Devices
Electric bicycles (e-bikes) and other electric
mobility devices such as electric scooters are a
rapidly growing new transportation alternative
in cities and other areas in California. These
devices provide a potential option to cover
longer travel distances and steeper grades. Bike
share companies that include electric bikes and
electric scooter rentals are common in many
cities. By improving personal mobility without
requiring use of a car, these devices may also
be an appealing option to aging but active
populations.

E-Bikes
California Vehicle Code (CVC) designates three
classes of e-bikes (CVC Section 312.5):
• Class 1 – low-speed pedal-assisted electric
bicycle: Bicycle equipped with a motor
that provides assistance only when the
rider is pedaling and that ceases to provide
assistance when the e-bike reaches 20 mph.
• Class 2 – low-speed throttle-assisted electric
bicycle: Bicycle equipped with a throttleactuated motor that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 20 mph.
• Class 3 – speed pedal-assisted electric
bicycle: Bicycle equipped with a motor that
provides assistance only when the rider
is pedaling, and that ceases to provide
assistance when the e-bike reaches 28 mph.

Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are generally treated
similarly to regular bicycles:
• There is no minimum age to ride.
• Helmets are required for ages 17 and under.
• Allowed on all classes of bikeways, unless
prohibited by the local jurisdiction (CVC
Section 21207.5).

Class 3 e-bikes have more limitations on their use:
• Riders must be 16 years of age or older.
• A helmet is required for all riders.
• They are allowed on Class II bike lanes or
Class III bike routes, but not allowed on Class
I shared-use paths or Class IV protected
bikeways (CVC Section 21207.5).
