• Abstract:
  In addition to people walking, people bicycling are our most vulnerable roadway users; they are most at risk of serious injury or death when they are involved in motor vehicle-related crashes. Local, county, regional and state transportation agencies play an important role in providing and maintaining safe and comfortable bicycle facilities. Planners and engineers must consider many factors when choosing and designing an appropriate facility for the roadway and land use context. This Quick Reference Guide was informed by a survey of local agencies’ bicycle facility design practices, questions and concerns. It is intended to demystify common questions about appropriate facility selection and design to help practitioners confidently implement low-stress bicycle transportation networks. The Guide provides information on the variety of bicycle facility selection and design guidance documents available and identifies which to use as primary resources in Minnesota.
