Bicycle Transportation Engineering - Bike Paths

Bike Paths

Bike paths are bicycle routes that follow an independent right-of-way. There are two distinct types of bike paths: those used exclusively by bicycles and those shared with pedestrians. In the United States almost all bike paths are shared with pedestrians.

Bike paths are often built on old railroad right-of-ways (called rail trails) and as part of greenways and foreshoreways.
