Problem: How to improve safety of cycling in Hamilton?
Infrastructure
Bike highway that connects upper and lower Hamilton
Bridge
Trail that connects both areas
Underground lanes - potentially combine with subway
Clover leaf highway
Take ideas and implementation methods of Netherlands infrastructure
Intersections
Roundabout for cyclists in the center of an intersection
Small intermediary 'pit-stops' for cyclists in the middle of the intersection
Have a crossing for cyclists available before the intersection
Have a button that cyclists can press to cross
Allow cyclists to go opposite direction of cars (risky)
L-shaped green bike lane for cyclists to move to front of traffic and have priority and left and right turns at intersections
Roundabouts with separate lanes for bikes and cars
Rectangular movement of bikes, similar to pedestrians but they cycle in the inner lane of an intersection
20 second bike-only scramble
Bikes have their own timing window to move at intersections
Lanes
Bike on side walks with lanes
Same direction
Opposite direction
Mechanical railings that come up from the ground
Parking lanes in between, with railings to separate bike lanes from both sides
For long highways, take one car lane and replace it with a bike lane - requires additional research on traffic logistics on highways in Hamilton
Implement other existing bike lane (such as those in Ottawa) design in Hamilton
Laurier
Aviation Parkway
Aeron
Coventry lane
Visibility
Green coloured bike lanes everywhere
Neon decoration around bike
Reflective vests for bikers
Turning signals for bikes
Weather
Bike tires with chains (similar to cars)
Winter bike heater
Mechanically self-induced by pedaling
Heated handle-bars
Enclose the bikes from the side
More money spent on clearing salt roads
Comfort
Smoother bike lanes
Back seat on bike
Winter bike heater
Wider handlebar grip
Security
Mechanical lock system with smartphone
Bike storages near populated areas
