한강 자전거도로의 노면 표시에 관한 연구: 유도선(Color Lane)을 중심으로

Abstract

As the means of sustainable green transportation, bicycles are already in the spotlight as a means of public transportation or leisure activities. In keeping with this trend, the number of users is steadily increasing, and the government announced the「10-year bicycle policy promotion plan」to promote bicycle use and open the era of bicycle transportation in March 2010 as a bicycle use revitalization policy. However, along with the increase in the number of users, there exist the poor use environment for the elderly, women and children, and first-time drivers, who are weak in transportation, and insufficient measures to prevent safety accidents. So the current situation is that the transition to the ultimate sustainable transportation system is necessary. Accordingly, the previous study, as a study to promote safety in the use of bicycle roads, set the research subjects such as Anyangcheon, Tancheon, Yangjaecheon, Hongjecheon, and Jungnangcheon, which are five major rivers among the existing bicycle roads, with the Han River in Seoul as the center. And over the period between March 2017 and March 2018, it conducted the current status survey of visual information and physical facilities for bicycle users and the questionnaire research on their bicycle use. In this study, the results showed that bicycle users paid more attention to the floor face than the post type in terms of visibility, and it was proven that the safety accident rate was very effectively improved by recently installing colored guide lines on the floor in interchanges, toll gates, and junctions on highways and general roads. Based on the situation where the color guide line is widely applied in various places, this study proposed its installation at intersections and junctions even on bicycle paths. This shows that the colored guide line is expected to have high effectiveness as a safer and more sustainable design element on narrow and complex bicycle roads where traffic lights or lanes are not clearly separated like automobile roads.
