cycle track

Banked cycling circuit

A cycle track is a path or lane designated for bicycles, separated from motor vehicle traffic and pedestrians.

Unlike a bike lane painted on a road, a cycle track typically has physical separation—a curb, barrier, or elevation change: The city added protected cycle tracks along the waterfront.

Common in European urban planning, increasingly adopted elsewhere.
