• Abstract:
  Bicycling is an integral part of a sustainable transportation system. It is energy efficient, cost ; effective, and environmentally friendly. Dedi-cated bike lanes provide the ideal conditions for both motorists and bicyclists. However, it is not always possible to designate dedicated bike lanes due to limited right of way. FDOT specifications allow lane widths on multilane roads to be adjusted so that the inside lane ranges between 11 and 12 feet and the outside lane ranges between 13 and 14 feet. Creating a wider outside lane provides room for bicyclists and motorists to share the lane.
