Diagonal cycle crossing for signalised intersection

Wilke, A. , Hinton, M. & Newcombe, D. (2007)  6th annual NZ cycling conference
Designers ViaStrada and Maunsell have developed an innovative concept, which proposes a diagonal cycle phase to run concurrently with opposing right-turning traffic (i.e. during the ‘single diamond phase’).

This paper will present the concept, and discuss its benefits and risks.
