Thinking about CVC’s added emphasis on safety, I thought this might be of interest to you. Michigan State University (MSU) is conducting a survey to inquire about bicyclists' experiences with rumble strips along the edge or shoulder of rural highways. The responses will be used to recommend guidelines and design options that will contribute to riders' safety and comfort. Thought this is being done by MSU, the results could have national implications as the survey results could shape future road design standards at a national level *Survey Link: Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management <https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eahCLxyxvk7ETMq>* The survey says “rural highways” and I had to think about that a bit as my first inclination was to say that we do mostly city riding. But *many of the roads we ride on fit the definition of a “rural road.”* After reading the definition below I realized that most of my miles would qualify as being on rural roads. This would include stretches of Potrero going past CSUCI, Hueneme, and Las Posas heading to PCH (through farmland), parts of Santa Rosa Rd., and might also include Mulholland and the many canyon roads we ride (where center rumble strips are already installed). *A rural road is defined as* a low-to-moderate capacity road located outside the urban boundary, which serves to move traffic to local streets and arterial roads, as well as provide access to rural property. These roads are often referred to as low-volume roads due to the lack of motor traffic and are part of a network that begins at the village level, primarily used by pedestrians and cyclists. It might be good to have as many CVC members complete the survey as possible so the voice of cyclists are heard. Thanks, Sheri
