A Study on the Design of Passing Lane on a Two-way Bikeway

In this study, a design plan for a passing lane on a bicycle road along a river in Korea was proposed.A simulation network of bicycle paths along a river was established, and the length of the appropriate passing lane was derived through simulations of the length of the road section and traffic volume.As a result of the analysis, it was analyzed that the length of the appropriate passing lane according to the decrease in the percentage of the bicycle group showed a similar trend overall, but no specific threshold appeared in the relatively short section of 1km to 3km of the road section.In addition, it was analyzed that even if the length of the passing lane is less than 100m, it does not show a significant role in the stability of bicycle traffic.It was suggested that 100m-200m is appropriate for the installation of an efficient passing lane on a bicycle road along a river in Korea when the length of the road section is more than 5km, and 300m-400m is appropriate for 600cars/hour.In addition, it was suggested that 500m-600m is appropriate for the passing lane when bicycle traffic is 800 cars/hour to 1,000 cars/hour, and 600m-700m is appropriate for 1,200 cars/hour to 2,000 cars/hour.
