24 Traffic Signal Control Strategies for Pedestrians and Bicyclists 4.5 Signal Timing Principles for Bicycles Traditionally, bicycles have been expected to follow general vehicular traffic signals or, on shared-use paths, pedestrian signals. Another solution that is becoming increasingly popular in the United States and already used widely in Europe is bicycle-specific signals, which allow bicycles to have a signal phase that may differ from that of vehicles and pedestrians.
