| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is development of method for improving the streets' informativitity of rules for bicycle users by using street design, signage, and road markings and so on, in order to achieve the promotion and safety of bicycles in urban areas. 1) The characteristics of exe fixation are analyzed, and road marking type have advantage for cyclists. 2) Interpretation of cyclists for different size of sign are analyzed, and as a result, necessity of quite large size marking is found. 3) "Repeat color markings system" is proposed and the effective size and intervals are analyzed by off-road experiment.
