3) Heemraadsparl (Rotterdam) (51.912920, 4.454741)
11:15-11:30
Discuss importance of public space and green connections (e.g., ABQ's arroyo network).
4) Mathenesserlaan (Rotterdam) (51.914339, 4.457818)
11:30-11:45
Discuss ROW width and all that can fit in there. We have plenty of space, but do we need to re-prioritize?
5) Mathenesserlaan & s'-Gravendijkwal Intersection (Rotterdam) (51.914889, 4.463312)
11:45-12:00
Discuss ROW width and all that can fit in there.
6) Nieuwe Binnenweg & Westersingel Intersection (Rotterdam) (51.917023, 4.472823)
11:45-12:00
Discuss how the previous intersection was very heavily controlled by traffic engineers (signals for every mode, signs, road markings) while this intersection is more a shared space.
Multimodal Priority Activity
In the US, we measure how well a road works using Level of Service (LOS). That is based on vehicle delay. But the Dutch think about person delay, which might prioritize the movement of different modes over single-occupancy vehicles. Observe two intersections for at least 10 minutes each. Note how the Dutch control the traffic and if they give priority to other modes over cars.
Next, find two examples of how multiple modes are leveraged to work together. Our example was the bus platform that we passed which had an at-grade platform, the bike lane was elevated to be at the same grade as the platform, and the sidewalk had a ramp to connect to the platform, thereby integrating transit, walking, and biking into a seamless experience.
