A recent article in The Atlantic details how the protected bike lane suddenly became common in America. The spread of bike lanes to so many corners of the country couldn’t have happened without a set of street-design standards, written down in a book so that less daring engineers didn’t have to blaze their own trails anew. The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) codified emerging protected bike lane practice in New York City and other pioneering cities into what eventually became the Urban Street Design Guide.
