Visual Glossary

Location: Regnart Creek Trail

Shared-use Path

Paved paths shared by people walking and rolling completely separated from motor vehicle traffic. Comfortable for people of all ages and abilities.

Location: Stevens Creek Blvd

Separated Bikeway

An on-street bike lane that is separated from motor vehicle traffic by a vertical barrier such as bollards, raised medians, planters, or parked cars.

Location: Rodrigues Ave

Buffered Bike Lane

A conventional bike lane paired with a buffer space that separates the bike lane from adjacent motor vehicle travel lane and/or parking lane.

Location: Stelling Rd

Bike Lane

Dedicated lane for bicycle travel adjacent to traffic. Separated from motor vehicle traffic or parking by painted line.

Location: Portal Ave

Neighborhood Bike Route

Signed bike route, sharing the roadway with motor vehicles on quiet neighborhood streets. Includes signs, street markings, and substantial traffic calming.

Bicycle Protected Intersections

Bicycle Protected Intersections create physical separation between bicyclists and motor vehicles, improving safety and minimizing conflict between roadway users. They should be designed in such a way that they are intuitive to use, provide clear right-of-way assessment, and allow all roadway users to see each other as they move through the intersection.

Location: Blaney Ave

Sidewalks

Provide an area for people walking to travel separated from motor vehicle traffic. Typically constructed out of concrete and separated from the roadway by a curb or gutter and sometimes a landscaped buffer.

Walking Improvements: Typology A - Signage and Striping

Location: Finch Ave

Advanced Stop/Yield Bar

Advanced stop or yield bar markings are placed in advance of a crosswalk to discourage drivers from encroaching on the crosswalk.

Location: Torre Ave

In-Street Crossing Sign

In-street crossing signs reinforce the driver requirement to yield the right of way to pedestrians at designated pedestrian crossing locations.

Location: McClellan Rd

High-Visibility Crosswalk

High-visibility crosswalks are marked with thick bars, drawing additional attention and awareness to the crossing. In school zones, these crossings are yellow instead of the standard white color. Improvements can also include more crossing signage, advanced yield or stop bars, or visibility improvements.

Location: Cupertino Civic Center

Visibility Improvements

Effective street lighting at pedestrian crossing locations increases vehicle operators' visibility of crosswalk and pedestrian users.

Walking Improvements: Typology B - Physical Improvements

Location: De Anza Blvd

Median Refuge Islands

Median refuge islands help improve access for people walking by increasing visibility and allowing pedestrians to cross one direction of traffic at a time. Improve ease of crossing at mid- block locations.

Location: Garden Gate Elementary

Curb Extensions

Curb extensions minimize exposure for people crossing the street by shortening crossing distance and giving them a better chance to see and be seen before committing to crossing.

Location: McClellan Rd

Curb Ramp

Curb ramps provide access between the sidewalk and roadway for people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, hand carts, bicycles, and for people who have trouble stepping up and down high curbs.

Walking Improvements: Typology C - Signage Controls & Changes

Location: De Anza Blvd

Leading Pedestrian Interval

Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) gives a walk signal to pedestrian before the traffic signal turns green for vehicles. This allows pedestrian to enter the crosswalk before drivers start moving, increasing pedestrian visibility to turning drivers.

Location: Blaney Ave

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon

Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFB) are a type of active warning beacon used at unsignalized crossings. They are designed to increase motor vehicle yielding compliance on multi-lane or high-volume roadways. Activated with a push-button.
