§ 900.03. Bikeway.  


Latest version.
  • "Bikeway" means a facility that explicitly provides for bicycle travel. A bikeway may vary from a completely separated facility to simple signed streets as follows: (a) "Shared-use path" (Class I Bikeway) is a facility for the exclusive use of bicycles, pedestrians and children's non-motorized vehicles separated from motor vehicle traffic except at bike crossings. (b) "Bike lane" (Class II Bikeway) is a marked lane contiguous to a travel lane within a roadway for the exclusive or semi-exclusive operation of bicycles in the same direction as the adjacent travel lane. The bike lane is physically separated from motor vehicle traffic by painted lines, pavement coloration, curbing, parked vehicles or other barriers. (c) "Bike route" (Class III Bikeway) utilizes existing streets and roads. No separation of motor vehicle and bicycle traffic is provided as only signs are present to indicate the course of the bike route.
