New findings for viral research on bicycle crashes at railroad crossings

A new path design for bicycles at a railway crossings cuts bike crashes. A jughandle design realigns the bicycle approach to about 60 degrees, virtually eliminating the risk of a rider's tire being caught in the gap between the rail and the pavement, a cause of serious crashes. This significant finding varies from previous design recommendations of a 90-degree approach.
