The Most Common Bicycle Collision Profiles on EI Camino Are: ij Broadside at Signal Oro ads ids collisions occur when the f :r a of an auto collides with the side of a bicyclist. These typically occur when either a vehicle ora bicyclist fails to observe the red light of yield on 0, ignalized turn. Potential countermeasures include: • updating signal timing to lengthen red done updating signal timing to separate hierlist and vehicle turning movements adding bicycle visibility treatments at i rnrsections, such as green paint �1� Full Access Unsignalixed Intersections These collisions occur when a vehicle makes either a left tum into aside street or Cuts across El Camino in a location where there is no center median. Limited gaps in traffic at intersections and high vehicle speeds on EI Camino increase the likelihood of this collision type. Potential countermeasures include' - restricting side streat access {a -g. installing medians) at these locations • adding a new signal at these locations OF Exiting Side Streets and Driveways These Pro 11 is ions occur when a vehicle enters CI Camino from a side street or driveway, and fails to yield to a bicycl ist.

Pelential countermeasures include: • daylighting (removing one parking space before and after an intersectienl to improve sight limes • installing signals at stop -controlled side streets with limited gaps in traffic to provide better access for both vehicles and pedestrians Complex Intersections Offset intersections along the corridor result in long and sometimes unclear crossings with multiple conflict points between vehicles and pedestrians. Intersection geometries such as right turn slip lanes and skewed approaches allow vehicles to enter exit EI Camino m a high speed. Potentia I countermeasures include: • consolidating access to side streets and driveways at signalized intersections, to reduce the number of conflict points to fewer, controlled locatic n; • redesigning intersection approaches to encourage slower vehicle turning speeds and impmvedpedestriarimihility Pedestrians in Road Pedestrians may walk in [he roadway when there are sidewalkgaps or in the eventthat they need to access on-cimen parking.
