Bicycle_signage#

Survey data where respondents describe the safety and propriety of a situation where a bicyclist is taking the full lane on a narrow, two lane road.

From the authors: “Many global challenges, including obesity, health care costs, and climate change, could be addressed in part by increasing the use of bicycles for transportation. Concern about the safety of bicycling on roadways is frequently cited as a deterrent to increasing bicycle use in the USA. The use of effective signage along roadways might help alleviate these concerns by increasing knowledge about the rights and duties of bicyclists and motorists, ideally reducing crashes.”
