Bicycle lanes

Bicycle lanes are designated pathways on roads specifically for cyclists. They are marked with paint, usually a solid line or a different color, to separate them from motor vehicle traffic. These lanes enhance safety for cyclists, encouraging more people to ride bikes by providing a clearer and safer route. Bicycle lanes can be found in urban areas, alongside busy streets, or on shared multi-use paths. They also promote environmentally friendly transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and improve public health by encouraging physical activity. Properly designed bicycle lanes benefit both cyclists and drivers by creating a more organized road system.
