Abstract

The article focuses on the National Association of City Transportation Officials' (NACTO) "Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Third Edition," which aims to promote safe, sustainable, and equitable transportation through well-connected bicycle networks. This comprehensive guide, spanning 426 pages, offers design recommendations applicable across various urban contexts and integrates new content on planning-level considerations and network-level approaches. It emphasizes the importance of context in bikeway design and provides updated guidance on midblock segments and intersections, while also addressing maintenance practices for bike networks. The guide serves as a valuable resource for transportation practitioners, educators, and community advocates, supporting the development of high-quality bike infrastructure.
