bike lane design

Bike lane design focuses on creating safe and efficient pathways for cyclists within road systems. These lanes can be designated by painted stripes, physical barriers, or dedicated pathways, separating them from vehicle traffic. Key factors include lane width, visibility, surface quality, and connectivity to other cycling routes. Design also considers how cyclists interact with intersections and pedestrian areas to minimize conflicts. The goal is to encourage cycling, enhance safety, and promote a sustainable transportation option, ultimately benefiting both cyclists and the community by reducing traffic congestion and pollution.
