BICYCLE COMPATIBLE ROADWAYS--PLANNING AND DESIGN GUIDELINES

It is the policy of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) to promote the increased use of the bicycle as a means of personal transportation and to provide for bicycle traffic by taking into account the needs of this mode in all state-funded transportation projects and programs. Policy statements extracted from the NJDOT Transportation Plan which pertain to bicycle transportation appear in Appendix I. On October 14, 1981, the department issued 11 planning and design guidelines for bicycle transportation (see Appendix I). This report expands those initial guidelines. It provides explanations and sketches to help those responsible for state-funded transportation improvements follow the guidelines and comply with state policy.
