Development of Recommended Guidelines for Preservation Treatments for Bicycle Routes
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has released a report that focuses on the effects of pavement macrotexture on bicycle ride quality using input from bicycle club members and their bicycles on state highways, and considered changes to Caltrans' chip seal specifications. This project is a continuation of a previous study, and this one includes a wider range of bicycle riders and bicycle types; considered pavement roughness, distresses, and macrotexture; and includes measurements on urban preservation treatments and city streets, state highways, and county roads.
