The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) has released a guide to help cities decide what types of bike infrastructure will best achieve their goals, building bike networks that are safe and comfortable for riders of all ages and abilities. By focusing on two key safety factors—vehicle speeds and traffic volume—Designing for All Ages and Abilities: Contextual Guidance for High-Comfort Bicycle Facilities* gives cities the tools they need to assess any street and decide which treatments will improve safety and support increases in bicycling. The guide illustrates how conventional bike network infrastructure, such as painted lanes, can be insufficient on higher-volume streets with vehicle speeds above 20 mph, while on lower-speed streets where other traffic calming measures have been introduced, such treatments may be an adequate solution.
