InformalWhat is a "bike lane"?
A bike lane is a designated part of the road specifically for bicycles. It is usually marked by painted lines or signs, making it safer for cyclists to travel alongside motor vehicles. Bike lanes can be on the side of the road or sometimes separated from traffic for added protection. They help to reduce the risk of accidents by keeping cyclists in a designated space, separate from car lanes. These lanes are found in many cities and areas with a focus on promoting cycling as a mode of transportation.
Example
In many cities, bike lanes are marked with painted symbols of bicycles to indicate where cyclists should ride.
The city council plans to expand the bike lane network to encourage more people to cycle instead of drive.
