Protected bike lanes physically separate bicyclists from motorized traffic. As a result, interactions between the two roadway users are eliminated while traveling on that segment. However, safety remains an issue when bicyclists have to interact with vehicles as they mix at the intersection. The concern is that after a period of separation, drivers do not anticipate interacting with bicyclists and thus fail to scan for them while performing a right turn at the intersection. This webinar presents the experimental design and results of a driving simulator experiment that examined the effect of the transition from protected (i.e., separated) to non-protected (i.e., mixed-traffic) environments and vice versa on driver behavior. The experimental design included four segment-intersection combinations, namely conventional and protected bike lanes and intersections with through bike lanes and protected intersections. Driver performance was assessed through speed and glancing data.
