PUBLIC COMMENT

Bicycle Safety Research Highlights University of Iowa Cara J. Hamann, MPH, Ph. D Department of Epidemiology Injury Prevention Research Center Steven Spears, Ph. D School of Urban and Regional Planning

Driver charges and convictions in pedestrian and bicycle crashes Question 1: How often and what types of charges and convictions are given to drivers involved in bicycle- and pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes? Question 2: Are drivers who hit bicyclist or pedestrians worse drivers than the general driving population?

The majority of drivers are not charged in bike/ped 2568 crashes in Iowa Bicycle- or Pedestrian-Motor Vehicle Crashes, 2011 -2014 834 drivers charged 1734 drivers not (32. 5%) charged (67. 5%) 1272 charges 898 (70. 6%) convictions *These figures include charges filed within 30 days of the crash 7

If any bike/ped contributing cause was listed, the motorist was less likely to be charged Major Cause (Fault) Motorist Charged N (%) Motorist Not Charged N (%) Both bike/ped and motorist 33 (23. 1) 110 (76. 9) Motorist only 423 (57. 2) 316 (42. 8) Bike/ped only 110 (12. 4) 776 (87. 6) Neither 268 (33. 5) 532 (66. 5)

Driving histories 544 Iowa drivers who hit bicyclist or pedestrian Matched on age and gender 1088 Drivers randomly selected from general Iowa driver population

More key findings Had at least one charge in the preceding 3 years: 44. 1% of drivers who hit a bike/ped 34. 6% of the general Iowa driver group Drivers who hit a bike or pedestrian were 1. 5 times more likely to have had 1+ previous charges compared to drivers from the general population.

Implications Drivers who hit bicyclists or pedestrians are a high-risk group (potential for targeted intervention). Ways to reduce bike/ped crashes may be accomplished through infrastructure improvements or increased citations for any types of traffic violation (possible universal interventions).

Pedal Portal Naturalistic Bicycling Study 2013 Pilot: 10 children, 10 adults (Hamann, Peek-Asa, Mc. Gehee) 2015 -present: 40 children, focus on school trips, data analysis underway (Hamann and Spears) Future directions: multi-camera system, currently in development

Some key findings Average school trips are just over one mile Mean length: 1. 25 mi, Range: 0. 28 – 6. 06 Children more frequently ride on sidewalks than adults and often on busier roads. Child chosen routes traffic volumes: 3735 veh. /day Roads within 500 ft. of routes: 2474 veh. /day

Using a virtual environment to study bicycle safety—a driving simulation study • Examination of driver behavior in response to bicyclists and bicyclespecific infrastructure (Cara Hamann & Chris Schwarz) NADS-1 High fidelity driving simulator

Overtaking event – Simulation Shared lane marking No shared lane marking 15

Results: Passing distance and lane changing 81. 3% of participants did not make a complete lane change when overtaking the bicyclist and this did not vary by presence of sharrows Shared lane arrows positively impacted motorist behavior • More passing distance (5. 7 ft vs 4. 1 ft, p<0. 01) • Better positioning, especially among older drivers (age 60+) (2. 8 ft vs. 5. 8 ft, p<0. 01)

Possible intervention strategies Targeted interventions: • Improved driver’s education to include how to safely drive around bicyclists and how to interact with bicycle infrastructure • Additional bike safety education for children and their parents (including resources for safe route planning) Universal interventions: • Improved infrastructure (e. g. , on-road bicycle facilities, trail connections, fewer and narrower lanes, curb extensions/bump outs, traffic calming/speed control) • Speed-related policy and enforcement (slow down motor vehicles)

Upcoming Study: Non-motorized traffic monitoring pilot Short duration counts + Permanent (Continuous ) counts Annual Average Daily Bicycle or Pedestrian Traffic (AADB & AADP) TMG, 2016, 4 -12.

Phase 1: 24 temporary and 1 permanent count locations
