Abstract

Lusk et al. claim that American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines discourage "physically separated and bicycle-exclusive paths adjacent to sidewalks."(1) In fact, these guidelines prohibit bicycle lanes on the roadway separated from travel lanes by parked cars or a raised barrier. They permit bike paths adjacent to the roadway where there is "minimal cross flow by motor vehicles."(2) (Am J Public Health.
