Hey folks
There is a section of shared-use path that is fairly dangerous that I'm trying to help solve. There is an underpass that is quite wide (~9m/30 feet), but the inside of the tunnel has public art that pedestrians often stop to look at. The entrance to this tunnel on one side is a blind 90° corner. I don't have pictures right now but can get some tomorrow.
The main goal is to slow down cyclists so they can easily avoid pedestrians once in the tunnel.
Here are some of the ideas:
If people have any experience or suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some of the ideas:
- Stop sign for cyclists instead of just slow warnings
- Paint on the asphalt to warn them
- Texture treatments (must be fully accessible still)
- Flexi-bollards to separate the lanes, so cyclists can't take the corner wide and maintain speed
- Convex mirrors for visibility
If people have any experience or suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
