bike lanes

Bike lanes are designated pathways on streets specifically for cyclists. They provide a safe space for bike riders, separated from motor vehicle traffic, which helps reduce accidents and promotes cycling as a mode of transportation. Bike lanes can be marked with paint or physically separated by barriers. They encourage more people to ride bikes, contributing to reduced traffic congestion and lower pollution levels. In urban planning, bike lanes are part of efforts to create more sustainable and bike-friendly communities, making cities more accessible and healthier for everyone.
