Segregation – freeways, malls
Separation – in time or in space
Integration – where vehicles and pedestrians “share” the road

What can we do to assist motorcyclists?
![Page 45: 3 vulnerable road users](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54823f4d5906b5ce048b4623/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Consistency – no surprises Smooth surface Lateral space Sealed shoulders The same good traffic management that cars, trucks and buses require Forgiving roadsides
![Page 46: 3 vulnerable road users](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54823f4d5906b5ce048b4623/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Road engineers have a dilemma
Very rough road – low speeds. Crashes minor
Excellent (if smooth) road – higher speed. Crashes serious
![Page 47: 3 vulnerable road users](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54823f4d5906b5ce048b4623/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Sealed shoulders – shown to lead to
12% reduction in casualty crashes
