The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and many states have now for years encouraged design flexibility in urban contexts and the U.S. Department of Transportation "encourages transportation agencies to go beyond the minimum requirements, and proactively provide convenient, safe, and context-sensitive facilities that foster increased use by bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. Understandably, this system makes it difficult to achieve safe and comfortable complete streets. Since 2009, separated bikeways (also known as protected bike lanes or cycle tracks) have been a significant point of focus for cities across the country.
