Urban Freight Integration with Protected Bike Lanes | Chicago, IL
Long Description for Figure 2:
Educational flyer for truck drivers on how to safely deliver from new loading zones across the protected bike lane
This figure shows a snapshot of a Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) educational flyer titled "Loading/Unloading Near Protected Bike Lanes."
The right side of the flyer is a map of a city street with a protected bike lane, a floating parking lane, and a loading/unloading buffer zone, all to the left of two travel lanes. The map has three numbered labels:
- A delivery truck: "Park in the floating parking lane"
- A dotted line from a delivery person in the buffer zone leading to a crosswalk onto the sidewalk: "Unload & and move goods via the buffer zone"
- A dotted line from a delivery person in the buffer zone leading across the protected bike lane onto the sidewalk: "Look for Cyclists"
The left side of the flyer is divided into two sections. The top section contains a list of three items corresponding to the three map labels:
- Park in the floating parking lane located between the buffer zone and the travel lane.
- Unload into the buffer zone. Walk in the buffer zone to the nearest crosswalk to get to the curb if wheeling goods.
- Look for cyclists when crossing the protected bike lane if walking directly to the curb.
The bottom section of the left side of the flyer is a photo of the street in the map with three sections labeled:
- "Floating Parking Lane"
- "Buffer Zone"
- "Protected Bike Lane"
