It is acknowledged that a"one size fits all" approach,while desired for the sake of uniformity of expectation for users, consistency, and efficiencies is desirable,will most likely not be able to be achieved everywhere due to unique terrain or other factors. All type of transportation users should be considered when pla.nning improvements,whether in that specific corridor or segment, or elsewhere in the transportation system(e.g. we do not want bicyclists on a freeway,but we should look at what corridor or segment bicyclists should be accommodated).
