Figure 4 Planned Bicycle Network Facility Type Group

Facility Type Group Descriptions Off-Street Path - These are typically shared-use bicycle and pedestrian trails. In-Street Separated Lane - These are in-street facilities where exclusive space for bicycles is provided in the roadway such as bike lanes, buffered bike lanes, one-way cycle tracks, or two-way cycle tracks. Bicycle Boulevard - These are low-volume, low-speed roadways that are optimized for bicycles and

pedestrians. Through motor vehicle travel is discouraged.

Enhanced Shared Lane - A combination of pavement markings such as "sharrows" or signage is used to highlight the presence

f bicycles on the roadway. The markings and signage

encourage bicycles and motorists to share travel lanes on the roadway. 1
