62 vehicles and passing vehicles, and for streets where onstreet parking was prohibited, an effective bike lane was defined based on the behavior of passing vehicles. Future research could be conducted to determine the relationship between effective bike lane widths, the physical and operational widths of bicyclists, and bicycle crashes, including bicycle crashes in the presence of passing vehicles and parked vehicles (where applicable)
