This report summarizes the results of the work performed under the project Study of Optimal Travel Speed Limits for Shared Traffic. The objectives of the research were to determine if a 25-mph speed limit addresses safety needs of bicyclists and pedestrians sharing roadway with vehicles, to recommend a method to assess and set speed limits for shared use of public right of way by motor vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic, and to recommend optimum speed limits for shared use bicycle/motor vehicle traffic in terms of different perspectives for low volumes, low speeds, and road geometry.
