Researchers conducting a study at a high-traffic intersection in a Jersey Shore town have found that the installation of a bike lane along the road approaching the convergence reduced driving speeds.

The research team started by creating a temporary bike lane on Cookman and Asbury Avenues on the side of the road heading toward the beach, delineating it with orange road cones.

Though you COULD NOT do something this manipulative, you COULD contact municipalities nearby and inquire about current and near-future efforts to install bike lanes... and THEN collect pre-and most traffic data in real-time. This would be quite feasible and super interesting. It would be all about doing the legwork to find where these design changes are being made, and of course the timing of it all.
