Bike Safety Assessment of the Clifton Corridor Pubblico
Biagioni, April (2012)
Abstract
This bike safety assessment was designed to determine
specific locations and types of accidents and near misses to inform
local transportation and health planning along the Clifton
Corridor. The CC is one of the largest employment hubs in Atlanta
which include; Emory University, Emory Healthcare, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Veterans Administration
Medical Center & Regional Offices, and the DeKalb Medical
Center. Using a convenience sample of Emory employees and students
a survey was administered to over 22,790 people to collect
information on attitudes toward bicycling, learn more about
cyclists' and potential cyclists' commuting patterns, behaviors,
and collect information about bicycle related accidents. There were
1,876 respondents (8%) that completed the survey from April 30,
2012 to May 24th, 2012. The results highlighted
how the high volumes of bicycle and motor vehicles traveling
through the CC, correlated to 254 incidences and 52 crashes or
almost accidents in a twelve month period from April 2011- April
2012. Among the key recommendations for reducing the number
and severity of bicyclist injuries and fatalities include creating
dedicated bicycle lanes, off street bicycle networks, strategies
increasing the visibility of cyclists on the roads, and
implementing CC speed reduction. The collected data can
provide safety indices to allow engineers, planners, and other
practitioners to proactively prioritize roadway and intersection
improvements with respect to bicycle safety.
