CORRIDOR-WIDE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS

Strategies to slow traffi c, improve visibility, and

enhance business environment:

• Consistent crosswalk striping (high-visibility or textured)

• Curb extensions at major crossing locations

• “Daylighting” of intersections

Flexible Bollards with Bike Parking(source: www.togethernorthjersey)

Curb Extensions with Landscaping(source: www.pedbikeimages.org/db)

Textured Crosswalk

Flexible Bollards(source: www.togethernorthjersey)

UN-SIGNALIZED CROSSWALK TREATMENTS

Potential Treatments:

• Pedestrian Warning Signs• In-Street Pedestrian Crossing Signs• Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)• Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs)• In-Roadway Lighting (IRWL)

VENTNOR BOARDWALK RECOMMENDATIONS

• Expand hours to include dark periods (coordinate with Atlantic City)

• Advisory signs to reinforce boardwalk as a recreational bike route:

» Slow speeds

» Passing on left (using audible devices)

» Yield to pedestrians

MARGATE BEACH PATH OPTIONS

SEA BRIGHT, NJ VENICE BEACH, CA

NORTH WILDWOOD, NJ NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ

KEY ISSUES:

• Crash history / speeding

• Conditions at signalized intersections

• Multi-lane un-signalized crossings

• Incomplete bicycle network

• “Dooring” incidents in Margate bike lanes

RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES:

• Traffi c signal synchronization

• Traffi c calming / lowering speed limit

• Pedestrian improvements

• Continuous bike lanes

ATLANTIC AVENUE - EXISTING CONDITIONS

ATLANTIC AVENUE - TRAFFIC SIGNALS

Ventnor Signals

18 of 43 intersections are signalized

Multisonic 820A controllers

Likely compatible (Ventnor Ave project)

Margate Signals

14 of 42 intersections are signalized

PEEK and Econolite Controllers

Likely compatible

Immediate/Low-Cost Strategies:

• Modify signal timings to provide enough time for pedestrians to cross at 3.5 ft/sec

• Install GPS-based clocks to coordinate signals and maintain a 25-30 mph traffi c fl ow

Overall Strategy:

Address bicycle & pedestrian needs comprehensively along the Atlantic Avenue corridor and balance with parking, traffi c, and other needs

4-Lane Section

• Buff ered Bike Lanes

3-Lane Section

• Buff ered Bike Lanes + Pedestrian Refuge• Separated Bikeway + Pedestrian Refuge

ATLANTIC AVENUE - CORRIDOR OPTIONS

Atlantic Avenue

• Reduce travel lane widths from 12’ to 10’ to create space for Buff ered Bike Lanes• Limited improvements for pedestrians - evaluate additional crossing treatments

KEY ISSUES:

• Several crash clusters

• Long crossing distances (54’) at uncontrolled crosswalks

• No provision for bike travel

• Bike parking is needed in business districts - but little space for it


• High-visibility or textured crosswalks

• Curb extensions in business districts: - Shorten pedestrian crossings - Provide space for bicycle parking

• Buff ered bike lanes
