Raleigh tests bolt-down curb stops to protect cyclists
Summary
Raleigh's transportation department is piloting bolt-down curb stops — vertical barriers between the travel lane and bike lane — with staff planning to review six months of data to assess safety improvements.
A staff member for the City of Raleigh said the transportation department is testing 'bolt down curb stops' intended to create a vertical barrier between the travel lane and bike lane to improve safety for cyclists.
"They're bolt down curb stops," the staff member said, adding that the devices "serve as a vertical barrier between the travel lane and bike lane." The staff member said transportation staff will examine data about six months after installation to determine how the pilot performs.
The pilot was presented as an innovation-focused safety measure; the briefing did not specify the number of curb stops to be installed, the streets involved, or funding sources. The staff member described the review timeline but did not provide specific evaluation metrics. No formal action or vote was recorded during the briefing.
