About the project
With feet on the ground or on the peddle, my research participants had a blast with this exploratory field research of UNT campus desire paths.
- Industrial sidewalk chalk was strategically used in testing prototypes
- Campus exterior bike lanes on city streets were explored and tested
- Every known desire path, paved or unpaved was documented
- All non-vehicle signage was located and tested for efficacy
Project results
I used a bicycle and go-pro camera to document bicycle lane prototype users safely navigating around campus foot traffic via skateboards, rollerblades, and scooters.
- Bicycle lane curtesy signage was improved and photographed in its context of use
- My colleagues who saw the prototypes around campus and were impressed
- Testing only lasted one day due to rainfall that washed away the prototypes
- Consent was acquired and disclosure was given when recording
