Bicycle transportation planning and engineering
open-in-new
<p>Bicycle transportation planning and engineering are the disciplines related to <a href="/facts/Transportation_engineering/2c2slxLF">transportation engineering</a> and <a href="/facts/Transportation_planning/odR3qhs7">transportation planning</a> concerning <a href="/facts/Bicycle/nxBVrlBF">bicycles</a> as a <a href="/facts/Mode_of_transport/chlfguRU">mode of transport</a> and the concomitant study, design and implementation of <a href="/facts/Cycling_infrastructure/zGukC0gj">cycling infrastructure</a>. It includes the study and design of dedicated transport facilities for cyclists (e.g. cyclist-only paths) as well as mixed-mode environments (i.e. where cyclists share roads and paths with vehicular and foot traffic) and how both of these examples can be made to work safely. In jurisdictions such as the United States it is often practiced in conjunction with planning for pedestrians as a part of <a href="/facts/Active_transportation/foBvE2Vs">active transportation</a> planning. </p>
