Reducing the number and severity of collisions involving bicyclists requires strategies that are targeted towards addressing the main factors that lead to collisions. Based on what is known about bicycle-related crashes, the following objectives-targeted both toward locations where crashes occur as well as toward the causal factors of crashes-are most likely to reduce the number and/or severity of crashes: Reduce bicycle crashes at intersections; Reduce bicycle crashes along roadways; Reduce motor vehicle speeds; Reduce bicycle crashes at midblock crossings; Improve safety awareness and behavior; Increase use of bicycle safety equipment; Reduce influence of hazards.
