This training will revolve around two key principles: user type – which ranges from experienced cyclists to people who are interested in bicycling but concerned for their safety – and the bicycle network. The training also emphasizes understanding a facility’s role in the bicycle network. Intersections present the greatest safety threat to bicyclists. Safe intersection design focuses on reducing conflicts between bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles by heightening visibility, separating conflicts in time and/or space, and encouraging eye contact and awareness between users. Topics for this training include: bike lanes, separated bike lanes, shared use paths and trails, markings and signing, and intersection design treatments. 

Conor Semler is a national leader in the planning and design of innovative bicycle facilities and is highly regarded for his ability to leverage transportation design to create livable and healthy communities. He was involved in the development of both the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide and the FHWA Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide. 

For over 13 years, Adam Vest has led a variety of multimodal transportation engineering, planning, and   design   projects throughout the United States and Australia. These include multimodal corridor and network studies, bicycle and pedestrian facility design, bicycle and pedestrian master plans, transit accessibility planning, neighborhood livability assessments, non-motorized safety evaluations, and community outreach. Adam has spent the past six years in the mid-Atlantic region working with numerous agencies, including the District Department of Transportation, Baltimore City Department of Transportation, Philadelphia City Planning Commission, Maryland Department of Transportation, Fairfax County Department of Transportation, and Federal Highway Administration.
