13 <br /> III EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> Table 4 below summarizes the results of the suitability analysis. In general, most of the road <br /> segments within the study area have "High" bicyclist stress levels, and therefore the principal <br /> users should be experienced cyclists. These segments will require physical improvements to <br /> provide casual cyclists with less stressful riding conditions. The study area does not contain any <br /> segments with Stress Level Ratings of"Low" or "Very Low". Map 4 displays the results of the <br /> Suitability Analysis. <br /> Table 4: Summary of Suitability Analysis Results <br /> ..........;;;:.;:;.;::.;:.;:.;:.:;;;::.>:.::.>:.;:. <br /> Segment Very Low Moderate High Very Total <br /> Type Low Hi h <br /> Rural 0 0 0 0 2 2.2 80 88.9 8 8.9 90 <br /> Urban 0 0 2 5.9 20 1....58.8 12 35.3 0 0 34 <br /> IV. RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> A. Develop an Orange County Bicycle Plan-This plan would incorporate those portions of <br /> the Regional Bicycle Plan that are germane to rural areas. It would also incorporate <br /> bicycle routes not included in the Regional Plan(i.e., those depicted in the New Hope <br /> Corridor Open Space Master Plan). <br /> B. Amend the DCHC Regional Bicycle Plan-It is recommended that the adopted Orange <br /> County Bicycle Plan be used as the basis for requesting amendments to the DCHC Plan. <br /> The planned NCDOT and Town of Hillsborough bicycle routes should also be considered <br /> in amending the DCHC Plan. <br /> C. Programming Bicycle Improvements-A future conditions, or forecasted, Bicycle Stress <br /> Level analysis should be performed to determine the optimum improvements needed long- <br /> term(20 years). A Bicycle Transportation Improvement Priority List should be developed <br /> to address existing and forecasted needed bicycle facilities. One of the first improvements <br /> on the list would be the posting of"SHARE THE ROAD" signs along each adopted <br /> bicycle route to remind automobile drivers that cyclists may be on the road. <br /> 7. <br />
