This study assessed the safety impact and performance of three different bicycle-specific intersection treatments (bike boxes, mixing zones, and bicycle signals) using surrogate safety measures (i.e., bicycle-vehicle conflicts and other non-crash measures). To date, limited research had been conducted to analyze how these treatments along with traffic characteristics (e.g., bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle volumes) impact the frequency and severity bicycle-vehicle conflicts, and research was needed to provide practitioners guidance on when and where to install these treatments. To develop this guidance, this project analyzed data collected from three sources: data reduced from videos at 12 field study sites, microsimulation modeling, and a bicycling simulator experiment. Through estimation of Poisson regression models and other statistical analyses of these data, guidance was developed which provides practitioners information on when and where to consider installation of these treatments based on bicycle, vehicle, and pedestrian volumes, road user speeds, and other bicyclist behavioral characteristics.

"Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted." Martin Luther King An Artist and the Light is a heartwarming and profoundly lyrical memoir-a golden travelogue-that paints a colorful picture of a traveling muralist who dares to create a life not dictated by societal standards. Through bright optimism, Eleanor Yates cherishes the compassion and protection people show her in every country and village she visits. She delights in magical blessings and finds greater meaning as she learns to consider each challenge as a rich possibility, ultimately harvesting a bright wisdom from characters and circumstances met far and wide. In her own words, "This book has been painted with magic. My greatest intention is to embolden joy and love. I want you to feel transported, to float free as a bird, to feel your own creative imagination dance with new ideas, and shine with bright, vivid euphoria wherever you go."
