FELL MASONIC BICYCLE TRAFFIC SIGNAL

San Francisco is proud to unveil its first bicycle traffic signal! This traffic device has been installed at the Panhandle path crossing of Masonic Avenue, near Fell Street. Thanks to local advocate groups Fix Masonic, the San Bicycle Coalition, and Walk SF for working with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency on this intersection and multi-use path crossing. Motorists now turn left with a dedicated left turn signal arrow and bicyclists cross Masonic on the multi-use path when the new bicycle signal displays a green bicycle.

Bicycle Program Mission and Vision

The mission of the San Francisco Bicycle Program is to provide objective and professional service to improve and enhance bicycling as a safe, viable transportation option. We do this through planning, engineering, and implementing bicycle facilities, and educating the community and agencies about bicycle transportation.
The vision of the Bicycle Program is to make San Francisco the North American city with the highest per-capita bicycle use and to have a continually improving bicycle network that is safe and convenient for everyone who chooses to bicycle for transportation and recreation. While City-wide bicycle counts showed significant increases in bicycle traffic in 2006 and 2007,the number of people who commute to work by bicycle in San Francisco doubled between 1990 and 2000 and continues to grow.

The Bicycle Program takes an active role in educating cyclists how to ride safely on City streets.The Bicycle Program strives to promote safe and secure bicycle parking to complement the growing bicycle network. The Bicycle Program has successfully implemented many projects, including striping over 40 miles of bicycle lanes, creating 23 miles of bicycle paths, posting 82 miles of signed bicycle routes, and painting 1250 shared lane markings, or “sharrows.”
