Bike
Lane Design Guide
www.bicyclinginfo.org/de/bikelaneguide.htm
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center has teamed up with
the City of Chicago and the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation to publish
a 48-page guide to signing, striping and marking bike lanes on city
streets. The guide contains 35 full-page technical drawings of street
layouts, striping patterns, signs, and street markings that show how
the City of Chicago installs bike lanes on streets as narrow as 44
feet wide with parking on both sides. The guide includes detailed
information on how to address intersections, bus stops, and other
tricky situations.

Bicycle
Facility Selection Guide
www.bicyclinginfo.org/de/bike_selection.htm
What is the best way to accommadate bicyclists? Transportation professionals
and advocates don't always agree on the answer to this common question.
Is a bike lane better than a path or a wider lane with no stripe?
There is no simple answer and a lot depends on the unique circumstances
of a particular roadway in a particular community. But, by reviewing
more than 20 bicycle facility selection guides from the US and other
countries, consultant Michael King's report for the PBIC suggests
that there are indeed some common ranges or parameters within which
different bicycle facility types seem to work best.
