Safety effects of blue cycle crossings: A before-after study

Infrastructure, programs, and policies to increase bicycling: An international review

“…One found that the volume of cyclists increased compared to two non-treatment intersections, and estimated that the safety risk declined (Garder et al, 1998). Several studies looked at various safety measures as outcomes, but not levels of bicycling (Konig, 2006;Jensen, 2008b;Hunter et al, 2000;Sadek et al, 2007;Hunter, 1998 Studies show a wide range of results in terms of appropriate usage by cyclists and encroachment by motor vehicles (Allen et al, 2005;Atkins, 2005;Daff and Barton, 2005;Hunter, 2000;Newman, 2002;Rodgers, 2005;Wall et al, 2003). Four studies did not find a reduction in conflicts, because there were either no or too few conflicts observed (Allen et al, 2005;Atkins, 2005;Hunter, 2000;Wall et al, 2003).…”

Road factors and bicycle–motor vehicle crashes at unsignalized priority intersections

“…However, the blue pavement also resulted in fewer cyclists turning their heads to scan for traffic or using hand signals (Hunter et al, 2000). Jensen (2008) studied the safety effects of blue cycle crossings at signalized intersections. The safety effect depends on the number of blue cycle crossings at the junction.…”

What do cyclists need to see to avoid single-bicycle crashes?

“…Previous research mainly focused on the visibility of cyclists and pedestrians to avoid collisions with motorised vehicles (i.e. cyclists should be visible for motorists), for instance, Kwan and Mapstone (2004) on visibility aids, Jensen (2007) and Nyga˚rdhs et al (2010) on the visibility of bicycle crossings at intersections.…”
