Join the conversation with CPBS about the latest NACTO and AASHTO bike guides
Join our consortium partners at the Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety (CPBS) and guest speakers on Wednesday, April 23 at 11am PST to discuss the highlights of the latest NACTO Urban Bkeway Design Guide and AASHTO Bike Guide.
What's new in the NACTO and AASHTO bike guide updates?
Description
Earlier this year, NACTO released the Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Third Edition. This new edition includes more detailed technical guidance than previous editions and adds new guidance on policy, planning, and project development to ensure connected bikeable streets become standard practice. In this webinar, Cary Bearn, Senior Manager of Multimodal Design and Programs at NACTO, will share highlights from the guide demonstrating how the principles of All Ages & Abilities design translate into technical facility and intersection guidance.
The 2024 AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (AASHTO Bike Guide) presents a significant shift in designing streets for bicyclists of all ages and abilities. It emphasizes the need to plan connected bicycle networks and provides the design tools needed to implement those plans. Jeremy Chrzan from Toole Design (authors of the guide) will discuss key differences from the previous 2012 edition, and provide a high level overview of the guide's content, including the design of separated bike lanes and intersection design principles.
