Abstract EN
Many urban streets are designed with on-street bike lanes to provide right-of-way for bicycle traffic.
However, when bicycle flow is large, extensive passing maneuvers could occupy vehicle lanes and thus cause interferences to vehicle traffic.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate how bicycle traffic affects vehicle operation on urban streets with bike lanes.
Data were collected on six street segments in Nanjing, China.
The cumulative curves were constructed to extract traffic flow information including individual bicycle and vehicle speeds and aggregated traffic parameters such as flow and density.
The results showed that as bicycle density on bike lanes continuously increases faster bicycles may run into vehicle lanes causing considerable reductions in vehicle speeds.
A generalized linear model was estimated to predict the vehicle delay.
Results showed that vehicle delay increases as bicycle flow and vehicle flow increase.
Number of vehicle lanes and width of bike lane also have significant impact on vehicle delay.
Findings of the study are helpful to regions around the world in bike infrastructure design in order to improve operations of both bicycles and vehicles.
