Bicycle Route - Any part of a bicycle network. Most are shared lanes with cars, in which a car has to move over to pass cyclists. The shared lanes should be at least 12 feet wide. Wide Curb Lanes - Cars can pass cyclists while staying in the lane. This can be achieved by restriping existing pavement or by eliminating gutter pans.
Paved shoulders are another type, and can be used in rural or urban areas.
Bicycle Lanes - Bike lanes are at least five feet wide and are generally located in urban areas. On streets with gutters, the lane can be four feet to the left of the gutter pan. However, if there is on- street parking, the lane must be at least five feet wide. The trail must be at least five feet away from the roadway or have a physical barrier from the road. They can take up a fair amount of right of way.
