1 PROJECT NEED
In 2008, Arizona ranked 9th highest in the nation in bicyclist fatalities per million
residents (2.92), when 19 bicyclists where killed on Arizona’s roadways. While this
represents a significant reduction from 2005 levels, when 36 bicyclists were killed, it is
still above the U.S. average
of 2.32 fatalities per million
residents. Figure 1 and
Figure 2 show the number
of bicycle-motor vehicle
crashes and bicyclist
fatalities that have occurred
in Arizona between 2004
and 2008.
The purpose of the Bicycle
Safety Action Plan (BSAP)
is to identify improvements,
programs, and strategies
that upon their
implementation will reduce
the frequency of bicycle
fatal and injury crashes, and
in particular those that
occur on the State Highway
System in Arizona. The
BSAP will develop a
practical and achievable
implementation strategy
that allows progress to be
measured over time.
2 STUDY OBJECTIVES
No single countermeasure or strategy will unilaterally reduce bicycle crashes, injuries,
and fatalities. A comprehensive and sustainable decrease in bicycle incidents will require
a consistent, multi-year, multi-faceted effort to determine the underlying causative factors
for bicycle crashes and to identify countermeasures with a track record of effectiveness.
Potential countermeasures will consist of a combination of: (1) engineering solutions, (2)
education of bicyclists and motorists, and (3) improving enforcement of laws and
regulation. Each facet of the BSAP must be regularly evaluated to determine its
effectiveness and continually improved upon.

7 OVERVIEW OF BICYCLE CRASH DATA ANALYSIS
PROCESS
Analysis of bicycle crash data is paramount to identifying effective bicycle crash
countermeasures. Our analysis will focus not only on the bicyclist, but also on the driver
and other conditions impacting the crash. Our crash analysis will consist of three phases:
091374036 ADOT Bicycle Safety Action Plan
2010 08 19 BSAP Work Plan 5 Project Work Plan
August 2010
• Phase I: Summary profile of all bicycle crashes in Arizona (state highway, and
non-state highway).
• Phase II: Utilize PBCAT to crash type all bicycle-motor vehicle crashes that
occurred on state highways within a five year analysis period.
• Phase III: Identify countermeasures utilizing BIKESAFE.
7.1 Phase I: Summary Profile of all Bicycle-Motor Vehicle
Crashes in Arizona
Crash data will be requested from ADOT, in GIS format that contains all bicycle-motor
vehicle crashes in Arizona over the past five years. Crash data will be summarized based
on categories as contained in the crash database and other categories as appropriate to
provide a summary profile of bicycle safety in Arizona. This summary will include
aggregate summaries for injury severity, daytime/night time, age, gender, unit action,
weather, and roadway conditions. Arizona crash statistics will be compared to national
statistics. Furthermore, analysis of crashes such as urban vs. rural, fatal vs. non-fatal, and
other analyses will be performed.
The purpose of this summary is to provide an overall picture of bicycle safety in Arizona,
in preparation for a more detailed analysis of bicycle crashes that occurred on the State
Highway System.
From the statewide dataset, we will identify crashes that occurred on state highways.
Summary statistics of state highway crashes will be developed.
A challenge and limitation of the study may be a limited number of high-bicycle crash
locations, segments, and corridors. We recognize that bicycle crashes occur at a lesser
and less-concentrated frequency than pedestrian crashes. As such, the analysis may
identify very few or a limited number of higher-crash locations (concentrations of bicycle
crashes), but may lead to identification of systemic crash types rather than corridor or
spot location-specific.
7.2 Phase II: Utilize PBCAT to Crash Type all Bicycle-Motor
Vehicle Crashes that Occurred on the State Highway System
A comprehensive and effective bicycle safety action plan requires analysis of root causes
of crashes before recommending countermeasures. To accomplish this, we will utilize the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT) to crash type all bicycle crashes
that occurred on the State Highway System within the past five years. PBCAT includes
over 70 crash types organized into 14 crash groups.
Crash typing of bicycle crashes that occurred on the state highway system will require
review of individual police reports. We anticipate that this will be no more than a few
hundred of the nearly 10,000 bicycle crashes that occurred in Arizona between 2004 and
2008. We will enter each crash that occurred on the state highway into PBCAT. Most of
the information required for PBCAT entry is contained on the police reports. We will
supplement police report information with other available databases including ADOT
091374036 ADOT Bicycle Safety Action Plan
2010 08 19 BSAP Work Plan 6 Project Work Plan
August 2010
HPMS and photo log to fill data gaps regarding field conditions. The HPMS database
contains shoulder width and traffic volume information that may be important to
understand the contributing factors of bicycle crashes.
Use of the various available databases will facilitate development of summaries that
associate crash types with field conditions. For example, the analysis will enable us to
identify how many bicycle crashes occurred on state highways where shoulder widths are
less than four feet.
Of particular interest will be to identify the number and frequency of crashes associated
with sidewalk riding. PBCAT includes several crash types for crashes
(http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/facts/pbcat/bike_images.cfm) associated with riding on or near
sidewalks and parallel paths. These include
• 211 - Motorist Left Turn—Same Direction
• 214 - Motorist right Turn—Opposite Direction
• 225 - Bicyclist Ride Out—Parallel Path
• 321 - Motorist Drive Out—Residential Driveway
• 400 - Bicycle Only
7.3 Phase III: Identify Appropriate Countermeasures
Our process to identify bicycle crash countermeasures will recognize that there are many
facets of improved bicycle safety including engineering, enforcement, and education.
Furthermore, improved safety involves many different parties including the cyclist,
engineers and planners, drivers, and law enforcement. A crash analysis conducted for the
Orlando, Florida metropolitan area presented countermeasures from a role-based
perspective (Orlando Area Bicyclist Crash Study: A Role-Based Approach to Crash
Countermeasures – A Study of Bicyclist-Motorist Crashes in the Orlando Urban Area in
2003 and 2004). We will follow a similar approach, recognizing that bicycle crashes
require countermeasures that involve a diverse set of individuals and disciplines. The
Bicycle Safety Action Plan will identify countermeasures for the bicyclist, motorist,
traffic engineer, planner, and law enforcement officer. We will identify the roles that each
of these disciplines and individuals must fulfill in order to improve bicycle safety in
Arizona. In this way each stakeholder (discipline, agency, division, department, and
individual) understands his or her personal responsibility and potential for reducing the
number and severity of crashes.
We expect that the analysis will not only demonstrate a need for infrastructure to improve
bicycle safety, but a need to educate motorists and cyclists of the “rules of the road”.
Recommended countermeasures in the BSAP may include expansion of the ADOT
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Awareness Campaign, or development of programs to
improve education of motorists and bicyclists regarding laws regarding bicyclists. It will
be important to identify countermeasures that are both cost-effective and address the
identified safety need.

8.2 TASK 2: Research and Summarize Existing Conditions and
Obstacles
Purpose
The purpose of Task 2 is to describe the overall state of bicycle safety and bicycle safety
planning in the state of Arizona, with particular emphasis on the state highway system,
091374036 ADOT Bicycle Safety Action Plan
2010 08 19 BSAP Work Plan 8 Project Work Plan
August 2010
enabling identification of obstacles and barriers on state highways as they relate to
bicycle safety:
• Who is bicycling, how much, and why?
• How safe is it to bicycle in Arizona?
• What is the current status of bicycle infrastructure in Arizona?
• What is the current level of bicycle planning among state, regional, and local
public agencies?
• What advocacy, nonprofit, and collaborative groups currently exist in the State?
Research conducted in Task 2 will be based upon a review of existing data and
documents, available highway and bicycle safety research, and input obtained from a
web-based stakeholder survey.
Stakeholders represent a valuable resource and partner in identifying both general issues
and specific bicycle safety concerns on the State Highway System. The Kimley-Horn
team will develop a web-based stakeholder survey that will ask respondents to identify
and describe areas of high-bicycle use on state highways, general bicycle obstacles that
they have faced on the state highways, and specific bicycle safety concerns. The survey
will also include questions related to bicycle advocacy organizations and non-profit
groups.
The survey will be made available on a project website that will be established at
azdot.gov and on azbikeped.org. To maximize a broad-based response, we will notify
bicycle advocacy organizations throughout Arizona of the survey. Media releases may be
distributed requesting citizen input to the survey.
The research findings of Task 2 will provide the foundation for establishing bicycle
safety goals (Task 3), identifying state highway high crash locations that require
additional analysis (Task 4), identifying countermeasures for the high-priority locations
(Task 4), and identifying additional data that is needed to measure progress toward the
goals (Task 6).
Work Activities
A. Research and summarize bicycle usage:
• Develop a web-based stakeholder survey. Notify advocacy organizations of the
survey. Post the survey to the ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Program website,
azbikeped.org, and to the project website at azdot.gov.
• Obtain and review existing data on bicycling such as the NHTS, the U.S. Census
Journey to Work data, and other available information regarding bicycle usage
from sources including the Maricopa Association of Governments, Pima
Association of Governments, and the Flagstaff Metropolitan Planning
Organization.
B. Document the current level of bicycle planning among state, regional, and local public

Purpose
The purpose of Task 3 is to develop bicycle safety goals and objectives for ADOT. Goals
and objectives will be based on research findings from Task 2 and will consider other
existing stakeholder goals and objectives found in local, regional, and federal plans.
Goals represent the desired outcome for the activities or services that may be established
through statewide cooperation and collaboration. Goals established within the BSAP will
be results oriented, will define the desired state of bicycle safety at the end of a specified
time frame, and will represent what can realistically be achieved through a collaborative
effort of local, regional, and statewide agencies and organizations. Goals must be
“SMART”—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-sensitive.
Specific activities and actions needed to achieve the goals will be identified in subsequent
tasks (Task 4 and Task 5). To the extent feasible and applicable, implementing agencies
or divisions will be identified for each objective and action item.

8.4 TASK 4: Define Bicycle Safety Priorities
Purpose
The purpose of Task 4 is to apply BIKESAFE Bicycle Countermeasure Selection System
to identify appropriate countermeasures that could be implemented statewide (education,
policy, program) or at high bicycle-crash locations to reduce bicycle crashes, injuries, and
fatalities. A prioritization methodology will be developed and applied to the
countermeasures projects.
Countermeasure Selection
BIKESAFE recommends menus of countermeasures for specific crash types with a
description of the countermeasure purpose, considerations, associated costs, and
applicable case studies. We will review the potential countermeasures and identify
countermeasures appropriate for each high-crash segment or corridor. In addition, we
anticipate that programmatic and educational countermeasures may be identified, in
addition to infrastructure.
Countermeasures will be identified for each role: bicyclist, motorist, engineer, planner,
and law enforcement officer. We will package the “role-based” countermeasures into a
program of projects. The projects may consist of a combination of countermeasures that
may support and be dependent on each other. For example, locations where wrong-way
riding is identified as a problem, the countermeasure projects may consist of signing as
well as education materials.
Countermeasure Projects Prioritization
Proposed countermeasure projects will be divided into three categories consistent with
their level of complexity, cost, level of coordination required, and implementation time
frame. Simple countermeasures are those that can be implemented within a relatively
short time frame, and at a relatively minimal cost. Moderate projects may require a longer
time to implement, and a higher level of coordination and funding. Complex projects are
those that may require several years to implement because of environmental, budget, or
other coordination constraints.
The countermeasure projects will be prioritized. The prioritization may consider factors
such as cost-effectiveness and the anticipated benefit/impact of the improvement.
Work Tasks
• Utilize BIKESAFE Bicycle Countermeasure Selection System to identify
appropriate countermeasures projects that could be implemented statewide, or at
high bicycle-crash locations to reduce bicycle crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
Countermeasures may include operational, construction, design, or
education/enforcement countermeasures.
• Develop programming-level cost estimates for the countermeasures projects.
• Categorize the identified projects into simple, moderately complex, or complex
countermeasures projects.
