Protected Intersections For Bicyclists !

This site will develop into a clearinghouse for exploration, examples, images, references related to the Protected Intersection design concept. Learn more in the video below, proposed for the George Mason University 2014 Cameron Rian Hays Outside the Box Competition.

波特蘭的城市規劃師尼克Falbo提出了一個概念設計稱為"受保護的交叉口" ，其目的是通過這個“安全角的區域”，迫使車輛從彎道轉彎時，可以讓司機能看到騎自行車的人，用來在十字路口護騎車的人。

作者Falbo他提出了一個有關交通安全的系統性的建議， 可以使駕駛在十字路口時更安全地騎自行車或是行駛汽車與行人間更加安全。透過SketchUp可以做出這麼精心設計，也是很棒的應用，他在此項研究提出有關於安全的四個解決方案。

1. Install a corner refuge island that increases a safe haven for bicyclist and pedestrians.
2. Install a forward stop bar that would increase bicyclist visibility, give them a “head start” in front of cars, and shorten the distance of the crossing.
3. Setback bicycle crossings 6 meters from the intersections to increase reaction times.
4. Install traffic signals for bicyclists.
