cycle lanes

Designated bicycle paths

Cycle lanes are designated portions of roadway marked for bicycle use, typically separated from motor vehicle traffic by painted lines or physical barriers.

In British English, cycle lane is the standard term; American English more commonly uses bike lane.

These lanes aim to improve safety for cyclists and encourage cycling as transportation.

The city added cycle lanes to major commuter routes.
