Shoulder width varies from 1 m to 1.75m. Road shoulders are marked off with a white line, and cyclists travel on them in the same direction as other traffic. Since these facilities are relatively new in Qu bec, the above sign is used to indicate to motorists and truck drivers that cyclists may be using the paved shoulder of the road. Bicycle lanes Bicycle lanes are provided in urban areas, along the pavement. They are reserved solely for cyclists and are marked off on the pavement or indicated with physical features.
Designated roadways are routes developed on low traffic streets and on roads where traffic is slow.
They are recognized as bikeways. They do not have corridors reserved for cyclists, but signs indicate that they are used by them. In addition, bicycle pictograms painted on a road remind motorists and cyclists that they are sharing the roadway. Bicycle paths Bicycle paths are specially designed for cyclists ans are generally located away from all automobile traffic. They may be reserved for cyclists only or they may be open to other road users, such as pedestrians or rollerbladers.
