52 <br />Chart 3-12 shows the age of the bicyclists involved in the collision. Sim- <br />ilar to the pedestrian age data, a large percentage of the collisions <br />are missing age data. If the collisions without age data are disregard- <br />ed, then the age distribution shows the greatest number of collisions <br />occurring with ages 15 to 28 which gradually declines in older age <br />groups. Chart 3-13 shows the total bicycle collisions by day of week, <br />revealing that Wednesdays tend to see slightly more bicycle collisions. <br />Table 3-7 shows lighting conditions at the time of the collision. Similar <br />to the pedestrian lighting table, there are more collisions in daylight <br />hours, likely due to more activity during the day. A large percentage of <br />collisions occur under street lights at night. <br />Light Conditions 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total <br />Dark - No Street <br />Lights 3 2 -1 1 7 <br />Dark - Street <br />Lights 26 23 42 30 30 151 <br />Dark - Street <br />Lights Not <br />Functioning <br /> -1 1 -- 2 <br />Daylight 106 95 119 69 90 479 <br />Dusk - Dawn 5 3 8 5 7 28 <br />Not Stated 4 1 1 --6 <br />Grand Total 144 125 171 105 128 673 <br />Table 3-7: Light Conditions During the Bicycle Collision <br />Chart 3-14 represents the movement of the automotive involved in bi- <br />cycle collisions. As shown, vehicles making right turns are the cause <br />of most bicycle collisions followed closely by vehicles proceeding <br />straight. Chart 3-15 lists the right-of-way controls (signals and signs) with <br />slightly more collisions occurring where there are no controls present <br />Chart 3-16 lists the primary collision factor showing bicycles violating <br />vehicles right-of-way as the most frequent cause, followed by signals <br />and signs violations, then vehicle improper turning. <br />As shown in Figure 3-9 there are high concentrations of bicyclist col- <br />lisions in the downtown area as well as the full length of primary ve- <br />hicle corridors like 1st Street, 17th Street, McFadden Avenue, Edinger <br />Avenue and Warner Avenue going east-west and Main Street, Flower <br />Street, Bristol Street, and Fairview Street going north-south. Areas near <br />the following intersections also show higher levels of bicycle collisions <br />Warner Avenue and Main Street, Warner Avenue and Bristol Street, <br />Edinger Avenue and Fairview Street.
