IN 2000, the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) adopted a Policy Statement to provide a recommended approach to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian facilities into all transportation infrastructure to create a safe, convenient, accessible, and attractive environment for bicyclists and pedestrians. The Policy Statement states 'The decision to accommodate (bicyclist and pedestrians) should be the exception rather than the rule.' Three exceptional circumstances are included: where bicyclists and pedestrian are prohibited by law from using the roadway, where the cost of establishing bikeways and walkways would be excessively disproportionate (exceeding twenty percent of the total poject cost) to the need or probable use, or where sparsity of population or other factors indicate an absence of need.
