Subject: transportation humor
I thought you might enjoy this commentary, which I received on email from another transportation professional:
It had been a quiet night at the local bar so far, but then the door was thrown open and an Interstate highway strode in.
Im an Interstate highway, it declared. I stretch from coast to coast and have at least four lanes, shoulders, and a median almost my entire length. I have the highest speed limit of any highway. Im the best of the highways, and Im afraid of no highway and no road.
He then strode up to the bar, ordered a beer, and began drinking it, while looking around.
A short time later, a four-lane state highway came in, went to the end of the bar, and ordered a beer.
The Interstate looked him over and walked over to him. Im an Interstate highway, he declared. I stretch from coast to coast and have at least four lanes, shoulders, and a median almost my entire length. I have the highest speed limit of any highway. Im the best of the highways, and Im not afraid of you.
The four-lane state highway said I agree that youre the best. I dont want any trouble with you. Let me buy you a beer, and he did. They drank their beers and discussed their engineering specifications.
After a half hour, the door opened again and a two-lane road came in, went to the other end of the bar, and ordered a beer.
The Interstate looked him over and walked up to the new arrival. He said to the two-lane road Im an Interstate highway. I stretch from coast to coast and have at least four lanes, shoulders, and a median almost my entire length. I have the highest speed limit of any highway. Im the best of the highways, and Im not afraid of you.
The two-lane road quivered a bit and said Youre absolutely right. You are the best of the highways. Im just a lowly two-lane road. I dont want any trouble. Can I buy beers for you and the four-lane highway?
The Interstate motioned the four-lane highway to come over, the two-lane road bought beers for each of them, and the three of them drank their beers and discussed the merits of various paving materials.
After another half hour, the door opened again and a strip of asphalt about eight feet wide came in. The Interstate highway ducked behind the bar and hid there quivering quietly.
The bartender was shocked.
After serving the asphalt strip, he walked over to where the Interstate was hiding. I watched you stand up to the four-lane highway and the two-lane road. You said you werent afraid of any highway or road. Why are you hiding from that little asphalt strip?
The Interstate replied quietly, Its true that Im not afraid of any highway or road, but hes a cycle path.

4. What is a Shared Use Path? The term shared use path means a multi-use trail or other path, physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic by an open space or barrier, either within a highway right-of-way or within an independent right-of-way, and usable for transportation purposes.
Shared use paths may be used by pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, equestrians, and other nonmotorized users.

5. Sidewalk or Trail? What is the difference between a sidewalk and a trail? Part function, part location.
If it acts like a sidewalk, its a sidewalk.
If it acts like a trail, its a trail.
If it is in between..
Facilities on park land parallel to streets.
Doesnt matter who maintains (parks or streets department). The function matters.
People will always argue fine details..
CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 5 I could give a lot examples from Fairfax City, Virginia. Mostly bad examples of what not to do.I could give a lot examples from Fairfax City, Virginia. Mostly bad examples of what not to do.
6. Provisions If you build a shared use path.
Make sure it works for all users.
Accommodate pre-existing legal users, including equestrians.
Ensure Accessibility: to be covered in the Accessible Design course.
Ensure construction to guidelines: Verify! CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 6 See Equestrian and Other Nonmotorized Use on Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities at www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bikeped/allow_uses_eqnm.htm.

8. Bad Example What do these curves do?
Landscape architect vs
Engineer?
Practical vs pretty?
Transportation vs recreation?
Opposite side of the road from a high school and other origins or destinations; no crosswalks.
It may be part of a larger plan. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 8 Photo: Ahsanhka Road (SR 7)in front of Orofino High School in Orofino, Idaho. Photo by Tony Powers, Dokken Engineering.

Christopher: That would be mine. Feel free to use it (I only take credit for the photo, not the sidewalk!).
It's along Ahsanhka Rd. (SR 7) in front of Orofino High School in Orofino, Idaho: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=46.490713,-116.266875&daddr=Orofino,+ID&hl=en&geocode=%3BCTsy1FxdpLHZFfM3xQIdXBYS-Sn_YENy-XSgVDGykUBZjRpl-Q&gl=us&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=17&sll=46.490356,-116.266776&sspn=0.005363,0.009645&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17
In addition to the excessive winding, this sidewalk (multi-use path? It's about 8' wide, as I recall) ison the opposite side of the road from the high school and every other possible origin or destination along its length,is adjacent to a rail yard (apparently abandoned) and does not connect to anything on either end -- not so much as a crosswalk. In fairness, it appears to be part of some larger planned system, as there is a short (about 100' and equally squiggly) section about 1/2 mile to the south, and a slightly longer section about another 1/2 mile further south in a riverfront park in the heart of Orofino, and both are along the same side of the road. So I suppose the idea was, as a multi-use path, to be on the RR side and avoid driveways and intersections.
The photo was taken in November of 2003. Attached is the full-size version, in case you do not have it, along with the other two I took at that location.
Happy Trails!

12. Shared Use Paths: Surface Firm and stable.
Some crushed aggregates can be firm and stable.
Rotational Penetrometer:
Measures firmness and stability of
ground and floor surfaces.

13. Shared Use Paths: Surface Pavement
Asphalt or Concrete?
Asphalt often cheaper to construct, but may suffer water, frost, and tree root damage.
Concrete may be cheaper in the long run: may better withstand flooding, frost, roots, etc.
Concrete: use saw cut for joints.
Check for accessibility and a smooth surface. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 13
14. Shared Use Paths: Tread Obstacles Tread Obstacles: Avoid, Minimize, and Prevent.
Prevent roots, rocks, ruts, bumps, cracks, etc.
Maintain a smooth path: sweep, fix irregularities.
Exception: Detectable warnings at crossings. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 14 From FHWAs Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access, Best Practices Design Guide: www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/sidewalk2/index.htm

15. Shared Use Paths: Gaps Gaps: Avoid, Minimize, and Prevent.
Keep drainage grates off the trail.
Minimize: openings, pavement and bridge joints, open bridge decks, railroad crossings, boardwalks.
Openings shall not permit passage of a 0.5 inch / 13 mm diameter sphere.
Elongated openings should be perpendicular or diagonal to travel direction.
Some exceptions for boardwalks: 0.75 inch/19 mm. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 15
16. Shared Use Paths: Speed Design Speed: AASHTO Guide is 20 mi/h.
Draft 2010 AASHTO Guide proposes 14 mi/h.
REASON: Most bicyclists are slower than the design bicyclist, pedestrians, other users.
Consider not having completely straight paths:
May encourage excessive speed.
May result in speed variation conflicts.

8 foot minimum for low-use facilities:
Connectors between cul-de-sac neighborhoods.
To avoid inviting cut-through motor vehicles.
Prefer 10 foot minimum, recommend 12 foot, more if needed.
Avoid designing only
for the minimum. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 17 Photo: Peter Axelson, Beneficial Designs, www.beneficialdesigns.com.

Based on Outdoor Developed Areas Guidelines.
Access Board to propose stricter guidelines:
Either Public Rights of Way (PROW), or
Outdoor Recreation Access Routes (ORAR).
At highway crossings: Highway slope is trail cross slope, highway cross slope is trail slope. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 20 Left photo: National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse Image Library: www.enhancements.org/library/index.asp.

31. Shared Use Paths Near Railroads Many factors to consider.
See FHWA/FRA Rails-with-Trails: Lessons Learned: www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/rectrails/rwt/index.htm
Trail may reduce trespassing on railroad property.
Trail is easier to use than walking on tracks.
Use a barrier:
Fence or vegetation.
Ditch.
Vertical grade. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 31 Photo: National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse Image Library: www.enhancements.org/library/index.asp.

32. Rails-to-Trails Good examples of shared use paths.
Low grade, good sight lines, wide, stable base.
It could handle trains, it can handle bicyclists and pedestrians!
Access points must be accessible.

34. Bollards: A Bad Idea Bollards should never be a default treatment.
Bollards are a potentially fatal safety hazard.
Unjustified bollards can create liability exposure.
Bollards, gates, fences, or other barriers can slow emergency response access.
Bollards are often ineffective: people go around, or damage the bollards or area.
A landscaped median is better.
Dont use unless intrusions are documented. CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 34 Photo: Delaware and Hudson Rail-Trail, Pawlet, VT. Jon Kaplan, Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Manager, Vermont Agency of Transportation.

35. Bollards: A Bad Idea If installed, bollard, gates, fences, or other barriers:
Must not restrict access for people with disabilities.
Must be easily visible in low light conditions.
Have enough sight distance so users can adjust speed.
Should permit passage, without dismounting, for adult tricycles, bicycles towing trailers, and tandem bicycles.
Accommodate all users legally permitted to use the trail.
Must be easily removable for emergency vehicle access.
Never use even numbers of bollards, possibly creating head-on collisions.. (see previous examples). CONSTRUCTION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN GENERALIST PAVEMENT & MATERIALS 35 National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse Image Library: www.enhancements.org/library/index.asp.
