Bike Facility Design Guide
 |
Bike Lane: The portion of a roadway designated by striping, signage, and markings located outside of the vehicle lane for the exclusive use of bicyclists. (Minimum 4 feet wide; Recommended 5 feet wide)
|  |
 |
Bike Route : A roadway, which is open to both bicycle and motor vehicle travel that has been designated by signage, not marked, as a preferred route for bicycle use. Routes may be located on existing roadways, streets with curb lanes, or roads with a paved shoulder that meet the minimum lane width requirement. (Minimum outside lane width of 14 feet) |
 |
 |
Multiuse or Shared Use Path: A multiuse path separated from the roadway by an open space or barrier. Shared use paths may also be used by pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers and other non-motorized users. Multiuse path is the safest facility for bicyclists. (Minimum 8 feet wide; Recommended 10 to 12 feet wide) |
|
 |
Improved Shoulder or Edge Line: The paved portion of a roadway to the right of a white edge line, which functions as a bike lane without signage or pavement markings. The City of San Antonio uses this treatment when on street parking is prevalent or for short distances. |
|
|
Bicycle Path: Same as multiuse path but specifically constructed and assigned for the exclusive use of bicyclists. |
