Discussion<br />
A cycle track is a hybrid type bicycle facility that combines the<br />
experience <strong>of</strong> a separated path with the on-street infrastructure<br />
<strong>of</strong> a conventional bicycle lane. Cycle tracks have different forms,<br />
but all share common elements. Cycle tracks provide space that<br />
is intended to be exclusively or primarily for bicycles, <strong>and</strong> is<br />
separated from vehicle travel lanes, parking lanes <strong>and</strong> sidewalks.<br />
Cycle tracks can be either one-way or two-way, on one or both<br />
sides <strong>of</strong> a street, <strong>and</strong> are separated from vehicles <strong>and</strong> pedestrians<br />
by bollards, curbs/medians, mountable curbs or a combination <strong>of</strong><br />
these elements; pavement marking or coloring are at times used<br />
for further differentiation.<br />
