The recent surge in bicycling activity has been paralleled by concern for increases in bike-involved accidents and demands for good recreational and utility-oriented facilities on which to ride. Various jurisdictional levels have responded with enforcement, development of bikeway locational and design criteria, and provision of physical facilities. Since U.S. planners and designers were generally unprepared to deal with the bicycle, programs were based largely on intuitive judgments, European experience, and trail and error. Results of initial experiences in various localities are now becoming available. This state of the art report focuses on planning and design practices employed to date, reviews successes and failures, outlines practices which appear to contribute to bicycle facility utility and safety, and identifies design pitfalls.
