Previous Experimentation and the History of Color Application in North America

Cities in North America have been experimenting with the application of colored pavement, primarily to highlight bicycle motor vehicle conflict areas since the mid 1990’s, the application of color to an entire corridor is a more recent practice. Between 1997 and 1999, the City of Portland, with support from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), conducted an experiment in which 10 conflict areas were marked with blue paint or thermoplastic and accompanying signing. (City of Portland Office of Transportation. (1999). Portland’s Blue Bike Lanes., US Department of Transportation. (2000). Evaluation of Blue Bike Lane Treatment used in Bicycle-Motor Vehicle Conflict Areas in Portland, Oregon.)

The study results demonstrated that thermoplastic was more durable than paint, which disappeared after the first winter season. The experiment reported positive results for decreased cyclist and motor vehicle driver conflicts at the ten study sites, but the treatments applied were less visible than desired in low light conditions.
Subsequent to Portland’s blue bike lane experiment, the FHWA approved interim experiments utilizing green colored pavement in communities across the US including Chicago (IL), New York (NY), St. Petersburg (FL), San Francisco (CA), Columbia (MO), Long Beach (CA), Austin (TX), Nashville (TN), Missoula (MT), Golden (CO), the Minnesota Department of Transportation (for Minneapolis), and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. (University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center. (2008). Evaluation of a Green Bike Lane Weaving Area in St. Petersburg, Florida.)

Green was selected over blue or red because in the US blue roadway markings are reserved to designate accessibility parking while red markers are sometimes used to alert motorists of wrong way driving. Interim approval for the optional use of green pavement for bike lanes was granted on April 15, 2011.

Treatment Application Summary

  • Spot Treatments
  • Corridor Treatments

Colored asphalt is not retroreflective by itself; in the Netherlands a white thermoplastic stripe is used for visibility. (Peter Furth. (2012). Red Asphalt Pavement.)
