What is a "bicycle lane"?
A bicycle lane is a designated part of the road specifically for bicycles, separated from motor vehicle traffic to ensure the safety of cyclists.

Bicycle lanes are commonly found on busy streets, highways, or urban areas where cycling is popular, providing a safer and more organized way for cyclists to navigate without interference from vehicles. The goal of bicycle lanes is to encourage cycling while improving safety for both cyclists and drivers.
