Design criteria, specifications and guidelines for providing Class I and Class II bikeway facilities are presented. Topics treated include: bikeway design characteristics (design speed, width and clearances, grade, radius of curvature, surface and drainage); capacity; volume criteria for separated bikeways; accident and safety considerations; alternatives for incorporating bikeways on existing streets; traffic intersections; signing; and bikeway lighting. In addition to design information, topics relating to the more global aspects of providing bikeways and routes in a community are presented. These include: short and long range planning considerations; community participation in the planning process; assessing land use impacts; mixed mode travel; bicycle parking facilities; theft prevention; techniques for assessing demand; and the design of a special bicycle-user questionnaire.
