The continuity of bicycle lanes/tracks at an intersection is a crucial aspect of bicycle infrastructure design that ensures safety of bicycle riders. To address this concern, various geometric design (space separation) strategies and temporal separation strategies can be implemented. Geometric design strategies include minimisation of exposure to conflicts, reduction of speed differentials at the points of conflict, communication of the right-of-way priority and provision of adequate sight distances. Temporal design strategies address these conflicts using signals and beacons. In addition, various common intersection design strategies such as intersection design for limited space, intersection design for divided carriageway, intersection design for free bicycle track and Dutch model of protected intersection are explained. Finally, some context-specific bicycle-friendly intersection design strategies are proposed for some existing developments.
