A separated bikeway, also called a cycletrack, provides dedicated <br />street space, typically adjacent to outer vehicle travel lanes, <br />with physical separation from vehicle traffic, designated lane <br />markings, pavement legends, and signage. Physical separation <br />may consist of plastic posts, parked vehicles, raised median, <br />or a curb (if the separated bike lane is raised to sidewalk level). <br />Separated bikeways reduce conflicts between people biking <br />and motorists. They also provide more physical protection that <br />further reduces the risk of severe conflicts between bicycles and <br />vehicles on the road. Separated bike lanes can also help manage <br />or reduce vehicle speeds as some of the design features can have <br />a traffic calming effect. <br />Cost $$$ <br />Low Cost / Quick Build alternative available <br />LRSM ID R33PB <br />BIKEWAYS <br />SAFE SYSTEM HIERARCHY <br />Remove Severe <br />Conflicts <br />Separated Bikeway <br />Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 <br />A mixing zone is where a suggested bike lane is within the inside <br />portion of a dedicated motor vehicle turn lane.
