In this project, researchers investigated the impact of using green paint and selected MUTCD signage to highlight bicycle – motor vehicle conflict zones. The team worked with the City of Flagstaff to identify zones with a high bicycle – motor vehicle conflict. Green paint was then applied at four locations along with the installation of the corresponding MUTCD sign. Video data was collected before any improvements, with the paint, and with the paint and the sign. The data was reduced and results reported to the intersection owner regarding the effectiveness of the treatments.
