Bicycle Transportation Facilities

A brief description and list of design treatments used to create bikeways.

2.1.2: Bicycle Transportation

 

Bicycles are legally classified as vehicles, and are allowed on most public roads in Georgia with exceptions such as freeways. A bikeway is created when a street has the appropriate design treatment to accommodate bicyclists, based on motor vehicle traffic volumes and speed. The basic design treatments used to accommodate bicycle travel on the street are:

 

• shared roadway

• shoulder bikeway

• bike lane

• multi-use path
