A cycle track is an exclusive bicycle facility that combines the user experience of a separated path with the on-street infrastructure of a conventional bike lane. Cycle tracks provide space that is separated from vehicle travel lanes, parking lanes and sidewalk by pavement markings or coloring, bollards, curbs/medians or a combination of these elements.
Alta's Cycle Tracks: Lessons Learned document describes the lessons learned from the European experience with cycle tracks, including implementation, safety concerns and design features of cycle tracks in Europe. Further refinement of these design standards will be required to accommodate cycle tracks in American cities.
