MoDOT's bike-ped program plans for all road users | @MoDOT

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

MoDOT works with planning partners to create transportation facilities that work for all users because we value bicycle and pedestrian travel.

Accommodating for bicyclists or pedestrians may be as simple as providing a well-designed road that has room for all road users to share or as complex as a separate-grade structure, such as on a bridge.

Developing appropriate facility design for non-motorists depends on a variety of geometric and operational factors that are inter-related, such as available right-of-way, projected traffic counts and adjacent roadway design speeds.

We strive to integrate non-motorized travel into the existing system to provide connections where none exist to promote efficiency and to focus on a primary concern-the safety of those who depend on walking or bicycling to reach their destinations.
