Traffic and Pedestrian Counts - July 17

In order to better understand the percentage of bicyclists and pedestrians who are generally compliant with the use of the Advisory Bike Lanes and stay within their own lane, the town completed traffic and compliance counts on Friday, July 17 during the peak hours of 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The observations took place along Vail Valley Drive from Hornsilver Circle to the curve prior to the Golf Course Maintenance Building. In order to be deemed compliant bicyclists and pedestrians had to be riding or walking completely within the striped Advisory Bike lane. The results showed that there was 100% compliance with pedestrians and 93% compliance with bicyclists. See below for actual counts.

Vehicles 83

Bicyclists 300 (22 Non-Compliant)

Pedestrians 45 (0 Non-Compliant)

Advisory Bike Lanes Installed! During the two-month summer trial period, the town received significant positive feedback. Upon completion of the trial in August 2020, the Town Council directed staff to leave the ABL in place and plan on permanent installation in 2021.
