PURPOSE: To receive a status report on the implementation of the
Regional Bicycle Plan and consider adoption of a
resolution that the Regional Bicycle Plan be used as a
guideline in the development of a Bicycle Component to the
Transportation Element of the Orange County Comprehensive
Plan.
BACKGROUND: In December of 1993 the Transportation Advisory Committee
(TAC) of the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC)
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) approved the
Regional Bicycle Plan (RBP) . The TAC then referred the
plan to the local governments within the DCHC Urban Area
for use as a bicycle planning guideline. On June 28, 1994
the Orange County Board of Commissioners received as
information a report on the recommended implementation of
the Regional Bicycle Plan and referred to the Planning
Board the development of the following:
a) a resolution for consideration by the BOCC concerning
adoption of the RBP as a planning guideline for
bicycle facilities in Orange County,
b) a Bicycle Route Suitability Study, and
c) a curriculum of bicycle awareness programs (to be
developed jointly with the Board of Education) .
Since that time the Planning Board has received three
presentations on the Bicycle Suitability Study. The first
described a Pilot Study performed to adjust the
methodology as described in the Regional Bicycle Plan.
Adjustments were considered necessary as the Suitability
Rating Index methodology as described in the Regional
Bicycle Plan is urban in nature and difficult to use in
rural areas. Leon and Broward Counties in Florida have
also modified the methodology for local conditions.
The second presentation described the results of using the
Modified Suitability Rating Index methodology. And also
indicated that the NCDOT' s Office of Bicycle & Pedestrian
Transportation had reviewed the preliminary draft of the
study and requested that Orange County use a different
methodology. The methodology recommended by NCDOT was
developed by Dr. Alex Sorton and determines road
compatibility for bicyclists on the basis of stress level.
NCDOT also requested that an assessment of scenic
qualities be included in the analysis of the bike routes.
The third presentation reported the results of the Draft
Bicycle Suitability Study using the Sorton methodology and
includes a scenic qualities assessment. The analysis also
included the planned bicycle routes for the Town of
Hillsborough. This is the analysis that is presented
tonight to the Board.
The results of the analysis indicate that during the
highest hour of vehicular traffic, most of bicycle routes
in Orange County have a high interaction between
bicyclists and vehicles causing high to very high levels
of stress for the bicyclists. What this means is that
during peak commuting times, only experienced bicyclists
(not casual or youth bicyclists) should consider using the
existing bicycle routes in Orange County.
The Regional Bicycle Plan stresses bicycle education and
awareness. This is intended to prevent injuries to
bicyclists by educating bicyclists and motorists. The
Basics of Bicycling Program is intended for elementary
school children to begin an individual' s bicycle
awareness. The Department of Planning is working with the
Orange County Board of Education and NCDOT to get this
program initiated.. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Elementary
Schools already have this program in place.
RECOMMNDATION: The Administration recommends that the Board:
a) adopt the attached resolution,
b) receive as information the results of the Draft Orange
County Bicycle Suitability Study, and
c) receive as information the Basics of Bicycling Project
Mini-Contract Applicant Information form and response
from NCDOT Office of Bicycle & Pedestrian
Transportation.

L INTRODUCTION
A Bicycle Route Suitability Study has been proposed to the Orange County Planning Board as a
first step in the process of implementing Orange County's portion of the Durham-Chapel Hill-
Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning Organization's 1993 Regional Bicycle Plan(see Map
1). The purpose of any bicycle suitability study is to estimate the amount of interaction between
vehicular and bicycle traffic along bicycle routes. By determining which bicycle routes are bicycle
compatible and those which are not, the Bicycle Route Suitability Study will assist Orange County
to plan for the provision of comprehensive bicycling facilities within the County and also to
recommend amendments to the DCHC Regional Bicycle Plan.
A Pilot Project for this study (see Appendix A for an explanation of the SRI method and the
results)used the Suitability Rating Index(SRI) methodology as described in the 1993 DCHC
Bicycle Plan for the analysis of bicycle routes in Orange County. This method was not used
because; a)the SRI formula required several changes to adapt it for use in the rural portions of
Orange County, and b) the North Carolina Department of Transportation(NCDOT)
recommended the use of Alex Sorton's methodology. NCDOT recommended Sorton's method
because of the predominance of SRI ratings that indicated an excessively high level of interaction
between automobiles and bicycles. This report describes the Sorton methodology and presents
the results of applying it to planned bicycle routes in Orange County .
The methodology developed by Alex Sorton of the Northwestern University Traffic Institute in
Evanston, Illinois is, in our opinion, a more direct measure of bicycle/automobile interaction.
This methodology does not rely on subjective evaluations of pavement and location conditions.
In addition, the formula is straight-forward and required no adjustments for use in the rural areas
of Orange County. This method is an evaluation of bicyclist stress as determined by three
variables: the amount of traffic, width of the road, and the speed limit of a given road segment.
The final results, or overall stress level ratings, also refer to the bicyclist skill level recommended
for the safe use on that particular road segment.
EL METHODOLOGY
Sorton's methodology is described in "Determining Road Compatibility for Bicyclists," PRO
BIKE/PRO WALK 1994. Please see Appendix B for a copy of this report.
A. Study Area-Bicycle routes analyzed in this project have been taken from the DCHC
Regional Bicycle Plan and NCDOT's TIP Project No. E-2913 (see Map 2). The study
area also includes those routes designated by the Town of Hillsborough for bicycle and
joint bicycle and pedestrian use(see Map 3). The 124 road segments were divided into
two groups -- 90 rural and 34 urban--based on the presence of curb and gutter, speed
limit (45 mph and under suggested an urban character), and location(segments within or
near town limits with the other urban qualities were considered urban).

B. Data Collection-Bicycle routes studied were segmented into homogenous units for data
collection. Speed limit, traffic volumes, and lane width determined segment length. Data
was collected through research of NCDOT files and field measurement. Research of
NCDOT documentation included cataloging lane widths, speed limits, and average daily
traffic. Field data collection was used to verify the NCDOT data and to collect additional
data for the Town of Hillsborough maintained streets.
C. Bicycle Stress Level Concept-The methodology for determining the compatibility of
roads for cycling is based on the level of stress caused by different road conditions.
Bicyclists "seek to avoid conflict with motor vehicles, harassment from heavy traffic, and
the strain of having to concentrate for long periods on riding along narrow, high-speed,
high-volume roads. In other words, they want to minimize not only physical effort but
mental stress as well." (Sorton 1994)
Determination of stress level requires evaluation of the stress level caused by each of three
variables of a road segment that have the greatest influence on bicycle/traffic interaction:
traffic volume, curb (outside)lane width, and traffic speed. Each of these variables is
evaluated for a particular segment. Outside lane traffic volume is the peak hour volume
(vph), or average daily traffic on a given street in a 24-hour period multiplied by a
constant representing the percentage of daily traffic occurring during the peak period. A
value of 10%was used for this analysis and is the accepted estimate of the proportion of
daily traffic occurring during the peak period. This value is then divided by two to
determine the peak period traffic in one lane. Dividing by two assumes a 50/50 split in
traffic between the lanes of a road with one lane of travel in each direction. Outside lane
width is measured from the edge of the pavement to the center line. Eight feet of this
width is subtracted when the road segment accommodates on-street(parallel) parking.
Speed of motor vehicles applies to the posted speed limit. Table 1 below shows the
suggested stress level evaluation for each variable. In using this methodology, we chose
to follow the stress level evaluations suggested by Sorton.

The stress level ratings for all three variables are average (added and divided by three) for
an overall stress level rating for the particular road segment. Table 2 below provides a
suggested interpretation of the overall stress level ratings based on the type of bicyclists
the road segment will accommodate. In addition, it suggests the need for alterations to
the road segment to increase its ability to accommodate less experienced bicyclists. In
using the methodology, we followed the suggested interpretation of overall stress level.
Table 2: Interpretation of Overall Bicycling Stress Levels
Stress Level Interpretation
1 (Very Low) Street is reasonably safe for all types of bicyclists (except children under
10).
2 (Low) Street can accommodate experienced and casual bicyclists, and/or may
need altering* or have compensating conditions** to accommodate youth
bicyclists.
3 (Moderate) Street can accommodate experienced bicyclists, and/or contains
compensating conditions** to accommodate casual bicyclists. Not
recommended for youth bicyclists.
4 (High) Street may need altering* and/or have compensating conditions** to
accommodate experienced bicyclists. Not recommended for casual or
youth bicyclists.
5 (YM Hi Street may not be suitable for bic cle use.
*"Altering"means that street may be widened to include wide curb lane,paved shoulder addition,etc.
**"Compensating condition"can include street with wide curb lanes,paved shoulders,bike lanes,low volume,etc.
D. Analysis- A LOTUS 1-2-3 spreadsheet was developed for the analysis. After entering the
data, it is possible to calculate stress levels for each variable, calculate the overall stress
level, and assign the appropriate stress level to each segment based on the result. In order
to facilitate automatic categorization by the spreadsheet software -the traffic volumes
ascribed by Sorton were converted into the ranges listed below in Table 3. The other
variables in the analysis are discrete values and do not need to be represented by ranges.
Appendix C contains the results of this analysis.

3 151 -250
4 251 - 350
5 >,=351
E. Scenic Qualities -NCDOT's Office of Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning has observed that
"bicyclists not only want to know the amount of interaction they can expect with motor
vehicles, but that they also want to know which bicycle routes have scenic qualities".
Therefore, this analysis includes a "Scenic Qualities" assessment as an enhancement to the
stress level evaluation.
This assessment is intended only to indicate the presence, rather than the quality, of one or
more of the following scenic qualities:
•Visual Features Qualities in a view that provide pleasure or inspire awe.
*Historic Features Human modifications the natural environment that
represent the legacy of the past.
•Recreational Features Features that are traditionally associated with nature-based
outdoor recreation(i.e., skiing, canoeing, camping, and
parks).
*Natural Features Opportunities to experience landscapes and biological
systems.
*Archaeological Features Characteristics that help in understanding the development
and historic evolution of an area.

III EXISTING CONDITIONS
Table 4 below summarizes the results of the suitability analysis. In general, most of the road
segments within the study area have "High" bicyclist stress levels, and therefore the principal
users should be experienced cyclists. These segments will require physical improvements to
provide casual cyclists with less stressful riding conditions. The study area does not contain any
segments with Stress Level Ratings of"Low" or "Very Low". Map 4 displays the results of the
Suitability Analysis.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Develop an Orange County Bicycle Plan-This plan would incorporate those portions of
the Regional Bicycle Plan that are germane to rural areas. It would also incorporate
bicycle routes not included in the Regional Plan(i.e., those depicted in the New Hope
Corridor Open Space Master Plan).
B. Amend the DCHC Regional Bicycle Plan-It is recommended that the adopted Orange
County Bicycle Plan be used as the basis for requesting amendments to the DCHC Plan.
The planned NCDOT and Town of Hillsborough bicycle routes should also be considered
in amending the DCHC Plan.
C. Programming Bicycle Improvements-A future conditions, or forecasted, Bicycle Stress
Level analysis should be performed to determine the optimum improvements needed long-
term(20 years). A Bicycle Transportation Improvement Priority List should be developed
to address existing and forecasted needed bicycle facilities. One of the first improvements
on the list would be the posting of"SHARE THE ROAD" signs along each adopted
bicycle route to remind automobile drivers that cyclists may be on the road.

served:and 41 Involvement by other agencies or dtizen croups.
The goal of the Basics of Bicycling Project is to reduce the
risk of bicycle-related head injury by increasing the use of
bicycle helmets among fourth graders at Cameron Park
Elementary School . Since the principal and the physical
education teacher at Cameron Park Elementary School
expressed interest in doing bicycle safety education with
their students, the Basics of Bicycling Project will be
implemented in their school for all fourth graders this
school year in the spring. There are five K-5 schools in the
Orange County Schools. Of the approximately 2,850 K-...r
students enrolled in our school district. Cameron Park has
660 K-5 students. The project Will target about 100 fourth
graders and their parents. To implement the project, a
number of steps will be taken. These strategies will include
sending a parent letter and permission form home;
administering a student survey on bike helmet use ana
student knowledge of bicycle safety; disseminating
appropriate educational information to students, parents,
the PTA, the Orange County School Board and others. The
Physical education teacher at Cameron Park Will teach the
Basics of Bicycling curriculum tc fourth graders in
cooperation with speakers from the Orange County Planning
Department, the Orange County Cooperative Extension Agency,
the Orange County Sheriff's Department, and the Hillsborougr,
City Police Department . Media promotions will include
writing_ artiCles_for__the News of Orange newspaper . and
Cameron Park's school newsletter; displaying posters
throughout Cameron Park about the pro3eci: distributing
educational fliers at the Monday Night Live event : and
sending parent notices home .

Dear Ms. Williams,
We would like to thank you for submitting your proposal for the Basics of Bicycling. Unfortunately,at
this time,a decision has not been made as to who the recipients will be.
Due to tine budget crisis within the Federal Government,we have been asked to postpone spending the
grant money that was allocated for the Basics of Bicycling. As soon as this matter is cleared,we will
contact you to let you know the status of your application.
Thank you for your patience in this matter. If you have any questions please call our project
coordinator,Jill Handley,at (919) 715-2349.
Best regards,
Curtis B. Yates
