Roundabout in Bike Boulevard
There is a bike boulevard on 83 Avenue between 99 Street and 96 Street. Bike boulevards can take different forms but all have the following in common:
These lanes are installed on some one way streets to give bikes a dedicated lane to ride against the flow of traffic.
Dedicated bike lanes reserve space on the road exclusively for bikes
You can pass through the dedicated bike lane to turn into a driveway or access way (for example, alley, parking lot) or to park beside the lane. Otherwise, you should not drive or stop in a bike lane.
The Bike Lane is dashed - what do I do?
Protected bike lanes are on-street bike facilities protected from moving and parked cars by a physical barrier. These lanes make driving and cycling more comfortable by creating a dedicated space on the road for people to bike. Protected bike lanes may allow for travel in one or both directions.
Shared-use lanes guide cyclists and remind drivers to expect cyclists in the same travel lane.

Shared-use paths are for many activities. You can bike, walk, run, and more. Some sidewalks may be designated as Shared-Use Paths. Watch for signs.
A complete list of shared-use sidewalks is available under Bicycle Highways on page 13 of the Traffic Listing Document.
New Bicycle Signals will be located throughout the Downtown Bike Network. Refer to these signals when crossing intersections. Signal timings may be adjusted as the Downtown Bike Network evolves.
Bike-triggered crossings help cyclists to cross at intersections.
Green Bike Boxes painted in a driving lane allow cyclists to do two things:

Green Bike Turn Boxes painted at intersections provide cyclists with a safe way to turn left or right. These boxes can be found in the bike lane or in a driving lane.
Note: Crossing two lanes of traffic to make a left or right turn from a protected bike lane is not permitted.
Striped green paint indicates that a bike lane is crossing an intersection or accessway such as an alleyway or entrance into a parking lot.
A Raised Crossing brings the level of the roadway to that of the adjacent bus stop. Transit users will be getting on and off the bus at this location.
When a Shared-Use Path crosses an intersection, the crosswalk will be lined with White Squares. These squares identify shared bicycle and pedestrian crossings and may be controlled by a pedestrian walk light and traffic signal.
