This document discusses separated bikeways, which are bike lanes that are physically separated from vehicle traffic and pedestrians. It provides an overview of different types of separated bikeways, including one-way and two-way facilities. It also summarizes research from the ITE Ped/Bike Council that found separated bikeways could attract many new cyclists by addressing safety concerns. Additionally, the research identified locations of existing separated bikeways and highlighted the need for better design guidance. The document concludes by discussing reasons to consider separated bikeways, such as preventing conflicts with vehicles, providing continuity for cyclists, and increasing cyclist comfort on busy roads. It also outlines some common concerns with separated bikeways and ways to address them in design.
