What is it? A bike box is a bicycle staging area located at an intersection. It is designed to prevent bicycle/car collisions, especially those between drivers turning and bicyclists going straight. Why are bike boxes used? To prevent collisions between turning motorists and bicyclists going straight. To allow bicyclists to get into the proper lane position for turning movements or to continue straight in alignment with bike facilities (sharrow or bike lane). Bike Boxes improve conditions for both bicyclists and motorists at intersections by:    — increasing the visibility of bicyclists    — creating separate spaces for bicyclists and motorists. Read more!
