Abstract

Pros and cons of independent bicycle paths are listed, and the major deficiency is shown to be problems in design, in as much as they are usually designed for pedestrians rather than for bicyclists. This paper gives several questions that planners must answer when considering an independent right-of-way opportunity. These relate to safety, utility and linkage, and proximity to population centres.
