Bike lanes are intended to delineate the right of way assigned to bicyclists and motorists and to provide for more predictable movements by each.” [ 1 ]

A bike lane in Providence, Rhode Island: Buffered A bike lane with some form of buffer between motor traffic and the cycle lane.

] In addition to ground marking, the cycle lane color plays a role to remind motorists of cyclist priority. In the Netherlands, the cycle lane red color is not painted but embedded in asphalt to increase durability and reduce costs. [citation needed] The design makes a turn on red possible for cyclists. In many cases, the cyclist who is ...
