Some useful research on a distinctive type of bicycle facility. I
still have mixed feelings on this design, although I can definitely
imagine situations where it would be useful. The two major positive
points are: it legitimizes cyclists taking the lane; improves distance
between bicycles and door zone on streets where bicycles could not
be otherwise accommodated. These are both major design achievements;
I've spent some time thinking about these exact problems, and
haven't come up with anything nearly as effective as this.
However, I'm worried that this could be used as an
excuse to not build bicycle lanes. A properly designed
bicycle lane and parking zone should leave a buffer between parking
and cyclists, and is more inviting on busy streets than a shared
lane could be. Furthermore, a bicycle lane gives cyclists a real
speed advantage in congested traffic: their lane might be empty
while vehicle lanes are bumper-to-bumper.
The report shows that these
markings encourage drivers to give bikes more clearance when
passing, and gives bicycles the comfort margin needed to get them
out of the dooring zone. Unfortunately, they don't address the
issue of pavement markings to encourage parked cars to stay close
to the curb, which is also an important part of the story.

This is a very good idea for streets with heavy bus traffic.
Following the VACC's recommendation, Vancouver has implemented
this on downtown Burrard St.

The ADONIS project was commissioned by the European Commission to a
Consortium comprising 7 partners as part of the Fourth
Framework Programme. Original title of the project is: Analysis
and Development Of New Insight into Substitution of short car
trips by cycling and walking (ADONIS).
The ADONIS project was partly funded by the EU - DG VII
Transport RTD Programme, Urban Sector and was co-financed by
Danish Transport Council, Danish Ministry of Transport,
Municipality of Barcelona, Catalan Institute of Road safety,
SAINCO TRAFICO S.A., Swedish Transport \& Communications Research
Board and Belgian Institute for Traffic Safety.

Interesting ideas:
C10 (New types of designs for bus stops) describes
some interesting ways of designing bus stops to reduce conflicts
with cyclists. In one of the options, the bicycle lane is against
the curb, but the bus does not pull into the curb to let passengers off.
Instead, it stops in its lane, and passengers walk across the bicycle
lane. To help them, zebra crossings are marked across the bicycle lane
at the bus doors. I think this design is only needed because buses in
Denmark are not allowed to pull up to the curb when there is a bicycle
lane. C17a-b (Two-way bicycle traffic in one-way streets in Belgium and
the Netherlands) gives some interesting background on the effectiveness
of this desirable tactic in those countries, and includes some useful
signs used there. C18 (two-way traffic on cycle tracks) makes the
interesting point that two-way tracks can be good solutions when there
are many T juntions on one side of the street, but few on the other
(e.g., next to rail tracks or water).
The crossings section is excellent: all of C19--C32 are worth
reading. These ideas are first-rate, and few of them have been
adopted in North America, from what I've seen. These are some of
the biggest issues that I have with current design on this
continent. I liked their use of the term ``cycle crossing''
where the bike lane/path is marked through an intersection.
The parking section (C33--C38) isn't too revolutionary. There are a
few interesting details of free public bicycle programmes, and
company bicycle programmes in C40--C42. The rest of the policy
section (C39--C44) was unexciting, and likewise for the education
section (C45--C52).
The organisation section had some interesting ideas. C53 discusses
bicycles on public transport (mainly commuter rail routes) in
Copenhagen. C56 (``BikeBusters'') describes a programme where committed
car drivers were given a free bike, free bus tickets for a year, and
asked to fill in trip diaries and track their weight and cholesterol.
Others describe bike-to-school programmes, bicycle courier
companies, and priority snow cleaning.

A very good, modern approach to bicycle facility design, from a
North American perspective. Some really excellent diagrams of
traffic calming designs; a good description of right-turn conflicts
(p.~3-20).
