AASHTO Bike Guide Webinar Series, Part 2: Design Principles of High-Comfort Bikeways

Jul 31, 2025

In December 2024, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) published the fifth edition of its Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, which provides guidelines for the planning, engineering, and design of bicycle facilities for a wide range of contexts. This webinar series will present details of the latest AASHTO Bike Guide, focusing on updates to the Guide and key considerations for transportation professionals involved in supporting, planning and developing connected networks for bicycling. 

Building on foundational knowledge from Part 1, this session will focus on the guide’s design recommendations for high-comfort bikeway facilities and their shared core design elements. Intersections will also be addressed in this webinar. Content highlights include:

  • Basis of design elements such as sight distance and design speed.
  • Design considerations for protected bike lanes, side paths, and shared use paths.
  • Bicycle boulevard design.
