Bike lanes provide a designated space for bicyclists to ride on a street. The colored pavement increases the path's visibility, identifies areas of potential danger, reinforces the right-of-way of bicyclists and discourages drivers from parking illegally.AKRON, OHIO
Limitless Lane
With a limitless lane, which is wider than a traditional bike lane, a portion of the street is set aside for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as people using wheelchairs , scooters, horse or other nonmotorized vehicles.Fort Wayne, Indiana
Raised Cycle Tracks
These types of lanes are set slightly higher than the roadway. Many are paired with a "furnishing zone" (shown) to further separate the cycle track from motor vehicles or pedestrians or both.Des Moines, Iowa
Buffered Bike Lane
Adding a painted double line, or delineator, increases the visability of a bicycle lane and protects cyclists from open car doors.Des Moines, Iowa
