This study aims to provide insight into the safety of bicycle streets, through a comparison of crash cost rates on bicycle streets and other bicycle facilities, and a conflict study on bicycle streets to more specifically address the characteristics of (interaction types, involved road users, driving speed), and related factors to (design, traffic volumes), unsafe interactions. Thus, both the safety of bicycle streets as well as the background of how and why unsafe events occur is addressed.

This study shows that average crash cost rates on bicycle streets are comparable with the rates on bicycle lanes, and higher than those on bicycle paths and regular residential roads. In addition, the regression models show that cyclists on bicycle streets are exposed to higher risks than on other bicycle facilities when accounting for external variables. Both the crash cost rate analysis and conflict study produced similar results on the effects of bicycle volumes on crash and conflict rates.
