	Many times bicycle traffic can be accommodated on the proposed improvement simply through the use of a paved shoulder or a shared lane. Bicycle facilities that are located off MoDOT right of way and adjacent to the project should be considered and appropriate connections made between the facilities whenever possible. Dedicated bicycle facilities will not be provided on the traveled lanes of interstate roadways. A bicycle facility may be provided along a non-interstate roadway that crosses interstate right of way if it is grade separated from the interstate traveled way. The bicycle facility crossing the interstate right of way should remain the same as the bicycle facility is on each approach to the interstate. For instance, if the bicycle facility is a designated bicycle lane on each approach to the interstate, then it should continue as a designated bicycle lane as it crosses the interstate roadway. Where special bicycle accommodation is not provided, bicyclists will use the travel lane. Therefore, probable use of the travel lane by bicyclists will be considered in determining appropriate construction details such as drain grates and expansion joints.

	Many times bicycle traffic can be accommodated on a proposed improvement simply through the use of a paved shoulder that has a minimum riding surface of four feet in width exclusive of any rumble strips. If this alternative proves unsatisfactory, several other types of facilities can be selected to address the bicyclist’s need.

	A wide shared lane is a right hand through lane that is wider than 12 feet. A 14 ft. wide lane is the most common shared use lane. This “wide” lane can allow vehicles and bicycles to comfortably operate side by side in the same lane. In extremely congested areas, using a shared lane that is wider than 16 ft. may encourage the undesirable operation of two vehicles side by side in the shared lane. This type of lane is well suited for urban and suburban roadways with low vehicular and low truck traffic in situations where bicycle lanes are not feasible.

	A shared use path is generally a wide sidewalk located outside the traveled way. It is physically separated from vehicular traffic by an open space or a barrier. Preferably, it is located on independent right of way; however, if necessary, it may be located within the right of way. A shared use path is appropriate in corridors not directly served by highways or streets, such as along rivers, lakes, parks, abandoned utility or railroad right of way. Cross movement by vehicle traffic must be minimal. A shared use path in the public right of way must satisfy [http://www.access-board.gov/prowac/index.htm ADA requirements] as published by the [http://www.access-board.gov/ U.S. Access Board].
