protected intersections

Protected intersections are specially designed crossing points where bicycle and pedestrian pathways meet with vehicle lanes, prioritizing safety. These intersections incorporate features such as raised platforms, safety barriers, and clear markings, creating a distinct, secure space for non-motorized users. The design reduces conflicts between bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles, encouraging safer and more comfortable travel. By clearly delineating each user’s area, protected intersections help prevent accidents, promote active transportation, and improve overall traffic flow and safety for everyone.
