Bicycle Route Hazard/Share the Road Sign Placement Inventory

 

With a growing number of people riding bicycles for commuting, exercise, or just for fun and fresh air, the need for safe, respectful sharing of the road by cyclists, pedestrians and motorists is greater than ever.

Share the Road signs are one tool for promoting this message, though the signs are not intended for general awareness raising. Instead, they are used to mark particular hazard areas on our road networks: blind corners, narrow bridges, places where the shoulder narrows abruptly. Places where cyclists and motorists both need to use extra caution.

The Rockingham Planning Commission is working to identify significant hazard spots on the region’s roadways, and particularly on designated State Bicycle Routes, where Share the Road signs could be installed to improve safety for cyclists and other road users. The RPC region includes 27 towns in southeastern New Hampshire, extending from the Seacoast westward to Salem and Windham in the I-93 corridor.

We're asking for your help to identify hazard spots that you've encountered while riding or driving.

Please only identify one hazard point on each page of the survey. If you have multiple locations you want to describe, you can use a separate page for each. If you have just one location to describe, you can enter that and skip to the end of the survey.
