Bicycle tracks are designed to provide users with safe, direct and convenient routes resulting in a minimum delay in total journey time. The most critical consideration for bicycle track design is to minimise conflicts with motorised vehicles. This chapter covers both Indian and international standard and guidelines in regard to bicycle track design. IRC guidelines are based on existing traffic, road characteristics and width of right-of-way and cover different engineering aspects. International guidelines such as FHWA, NACTO and AASHTO specify additional recommendations regarding the design of the bicycle tracks based on the direction of the bicycle traffic, buffering strategies, midblock strategies, traffic calming measures and their maintenance. The chapter also includes the design of bicycle track pavement, bicycle stairways and automated bicycle wheeling ramps. Finally, general recommendations and context-specific design solutions for bicycle tracks in the Indian scenario are discussed with examples.
