Speed Humps

Speed humps, also known as speed bumps, are used to reduce motor vehicle speeds. A speed hump is a raised area of roadway pavement approximately 3 inches in height. They are different from the more severe speed humps you may find in a parking lot. A speed hump causes a vehicle to produce a rocking motion, creating an uncomfortable sensation for the occupants of speeding vehicles thus encouraging the driver to reduce their speed. Bellevue uses two different designs based on roadway characteristics.

Neighborhood bikeways—known as “neighborhood greenways” and “bicycle boulevards” in some other cities—would be a new type of bicycle facility for Bellevue if this project idea is implemented. These are streets with low motorized traffic volumes and speeds, designated and designed to give bicycle travel priority.

Neighborhood bikeways would at minimum use signs and pavement markings (e.g., green-backed sharrows) to clearly identify the bike route to all road users. Additionally, traffic calming measures to manage speed and volume would be considered as potential treatments to provide a safe and comfortable bicycling environment for people of all ages and abilities at all points along the route.

For this type of bicycle facility, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. National best-practice guidance will be considered together with local context and neighborhood input to determine which traffic calming treatments, if any, are appropriate for each neighborhood bikeway project idea. Further study is required to determine the specific type and location of treatments that would be implemented along this corridor if the project idea is ultimately pursued.

What are Neighborhood Bikeways?

green-Backed Sharrows

Shared lane pavement markings, also known as sharrows, are bicycle symbols that are placed in the roadway lane to indicate that people in motor vehicles should expect to see and share the lane with people on bicycles. Unlike bicycle lanes, they do not designate a particular part of the roadway for the exclusive use of bicycles.

Green-backed sharrows utilize high-visibility green paint to improve awareness of the presence of people on bicycles, who should use the sharrow to guide where they ride within the lane.

Traffic Circle

A traffic circle is a raised circular island located in the center of an intersection. This design requires vehicles to keep right and travel through the intersection in a counterclockwise direction around the island. The shape and size of the traffic circle is determined by the size of the intersection.

Traffic circles can be placed at four-legged and three-legged intersections. Installations of traffic circles can be very effective at reducing the number of vehicle collisions at an intersection.

Speed Dots

A speed dot is a small circular or oval island located in the center of the road at mid-block locations. It reduces vehicle speeds by narrowing the roadway and redirecting vehicles around the circle.

The effect on vehicle speeds depends on the roadway width, in addition to the size and number of speed dots. They can be used in a series resulting in a raised median effect but includes better driveway access. They can also be landscaped.

Chicane

Chicanes are a series of two to three curb extensions that alternate from one side of the street to the other forming S-shaped curves on what would be an otherwise straight roadway. Slow points are curb extensions that narrow a roadway, sometimes allowing only one car at a time to pass requiring vehicles at both ends to stop or yield before proceeding through.

This treatment is used to reduce vehicle speeds and can reduce cut-through traffic.

Issues:No specific issues identified.

Opportunities:Neighborhood Bikeway (1.9 miles): 165th, 166th, and 168th Ave from NE 14th St to Northup Way

Nearby Transit: Frequent Route 245 (stops along 156th Ave NE), RapidRide B Line (156th Ave NE at NE 8th St)Nearby Schools: Tillicum Middle School, Phantom Lake Elementary School, Interlake High School, JewishDay School, Sherwood Forest Elementary SchoolNearby Parks: Lake Hills Greenbelt, Lake Hills Park, Weowna Park, Crossroads Park, Tam O’Shanter ParkNearby City Services: Crossroads Mini City Hall

Cost Estimates:Capital: $88,200O&M: $4,500 annually

Speed Humps

Speed humps, also known as speed bumps, are used to reduce motor vehicle speeds. A speed hump is a raised area of roadway pavement approximately 3 inches in height. They are different from the more severe speed humps you may find in a parking lot. A speed hump causes a vehicle to produce a rocking motion, creating an uncomfortable sensation for the occupants of speeding vehicles thus encouraging the driver to reduce their speed. Bellevue uses two different designs based on roadway characteristics.

Neighborhood bikeways—known as “neighborhood greenways” and “bicycle boulevards” in some other cities—would be a new type of bicycle facility for Bellevue if this project idea is implemented. These are streets with low motorized traffic volumes and speeds, designated and designed to give bicycle travel priority.

Neighborhood bikeways would at minimum use signs and pavement markings (e.g., green-backed sharrows) to clearly identify the bike route to all road users. Additionally, traffic calming measures to manage speed and volume would be considered as potential treatments to provide a safe and comfortable bicycling environment for people of all ages and abilities at all points along the route.

For this type of bicycle facility, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. National best-practice guidance will be considered together with local context and neighborhood input to determine which traffic calming treatments, if any, are appropriate for each neighborhood bikeway project idea. Further study is required to determine the specific type and location of treatments that would be implemented along this corridor if the project idea is ultimately pursued.

What are Neighborhood Bikeways?

green-Backed Sharrows

Shared lane pavement markings, also known as sharrows, are bicycle symbols that are placed in the roadway lane to indicate that people in motor vehicles should expect to see and share the lane with people on bicycles. Unlike bicycle lanes, they do not designate a particular part of the roadway for the exclusive use of bicycles.

Green-backed sharrows utilize high-visibility green paint to improve awareness of the presence of people on bicycles, who should use the sharrow to guide where they ride within the lane.

Traffic Circle

A traffic circle is a raised circular island located in the center of an intersection. This design requires vehicles to keep right and travel through the intersection in a counterclockwise direction around the island. The shape and size of the traffic circle is determined by the size of the intersection.

Traffic circles can be placed at four-legged and three-legged intersections. Installations of traffic circles can be very effective at reducing the number of vehicle collisions at an intersection.

Speed Dots

A speed dot is a small circular or oval island located in the center of the road at mid-block locations. It reduces vehicle speeds by narrowing the roadway and redirecting vehicles around the circle.

The effect on vehicle speeds depends on the roadway width, in addition to the size and number of speed dots. They can be used in a series resulting in a raised median effect but includes better driveway access. They can also be landscaped.

Chicane

Chicanes are a series of two to three curb extensions that alternate from one side of the street to the other forming S-shaped curves on what would be an otherwise straight roadway. Slow points are curb extensions that narrow a roadway, sometimes allowing only one car at a time to pass requiring vehicles at both ends to stop or yield before proceeding through.

This treatment is used to reduce vehicle speeds and can reduce cut-through traffic.

Issues:No specific issues identified.

Opportunities:Neighborhood Bikeway (1.3 miles): SE 56th St, 117th Ave SE, 116th Ave SE, and Lake Heights St SE

Nearby Transit: Newport Hills Park-and-Ride, frequent Route 245 (Coal Creek Pkwy SE)Access to School: Improved bicycle connection to Newport Heights Elementary SchoolNearby Schools: Newport High School, Olde Middle School, Ringdall Jr. High SchoolNearby Parks: Newcastle Beach Park, Newport Hills Park, Tyler property park

Cost Estimates:Capital: $59,300O&M: $3,000 annually

Speed Humps

Speed humps, also known as speed bumps, are used to reduce motor vehicle speeds. A speed hump is a raised area of roadway pavement approximately 3 inches in height. They are different from the more severe speed humps you may find in a parking lot. A speed hump causes a vehicle to produce a rocking motion, creating an uncomfortable sensation for the occupants of speeding vehicles thus encouraging the driver to reduce their speed. Bellevue uses two different designs based on roadway characteristics.

Neighborhood bikeways—known as “neighborhood greenways” and “bicycle boulevards” in some other cities—would be a new type of bicycle facility for Bellevue if this project idea is implemented. These are streets with low motorized traffic volumes and speeds, designated and designed to give bicycle travel priority.

Neighborhood bikeways would at minimum use signs and pavement markings (e.g., green-backed sharrows) to clearly identify the bike route to all road users. Additionally, traffic calming measures to manage speed and volume would be considered as potential treatments to provide a safe and comfortable bicycling environment for people of all ages and abilities at all points along the route.

For this type of bicycle facility, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. National best-practice guidance will be considered together with local context and neighborhood input to determine which traffic calming treatments, if any, are appropriate for each neighborhood bikeway project idea. Further study is required to determine the specific type and location of treatments that would be implemented along this corridor if the project idea is ultimately pursued.

What are Neighborhood Bikeways?

green-Backed Sharrows

Shared lane pavement markings, also known as sharrows, are bicycle symbols that are placed in the roadway lane to indicate that people in motor vehicles should expect to see and share the lane with people on bicycles. Unlike bicycle lanes, they do not designate a particular part of the roadway for the exclusive use of bicycles.

Green-backed sharrows utilize high-visibility green paint to improve awareness of the presence of people on bicycles, who should use the sharrow to guide where they ride within the lane.

Traffic Circle

A traffic circle is a raised circular island located in the center of an intersection. This design requires vehicles to keep right and travel through the intersection in a counterclockwise direction around the island. The shape and size of the traffic circle is determined by the size of the intersection.

Traffic circles can be placed at four-legged and three-legged intersections. Installations of traffic circles can be very effective at reducing the number of vehicle collisions at an intersection.

Speed Dots

A speed dot is a small circular or oval island located in the center of the road at mid-block locations. It reduces vehicle speeds by narrowing the roadway and redirecting vehicles around the circle.

The effect on vehicle speeds depends on the roadway width, in addition to the size and number of speed dots. They can be used in a series resulting in a raised median effect but includes better driveway access. They can also be landscaped.

Chicane

Chicanes are a series of two to three curb extensions that alternate from one side of the street to the other forming S-shaped curves on what would be an otherwise straight roadway. Slow points are curb extensions that narrow a roadway, sometimes allowing only one car at a time to pass requiring vehicles at both ends to stop or yield before proceeding through.

This treatment is used to reduce vehicle speeds and can reduce cut-through traffic.
