initiated design and c:cnstruction of several mefor trails.
Based on thiS OJCperienoe. and on the experience of other cities and transportation

8nd lmplomootallon of bicycle fadlltles for the y&ara to come.
The epec:::ffieltlons Bre based on the Manual on uniform Traffic Control Devices and the
MSHTO Guide for the Developmenl d Bicyde Fodlilios. lOge-- i-' from
OOOT-.
Who ahoukt use the Design Gukie?
The guide Is Intended for DOOT staff undertaking rMUrfaclng and reoonstructlon
projects, end OOOT consultants preparing road reconstruction plans. 11 vnll al$o be
useful for dovolopers., planners, advocates and the public In general.
Wh-ere will blcyclo lanes be installed?
Streett to receive bicycle lanes arc ldeotlfled In the 2005 Bkyde Master Plan, also
evalabte on the web site or at the 81cyde offiCI. The bkJe dMhes on the plan

Whe,. lhoutd bicycle route signs be lnltlllt<t?
The grMn blc)'c:le route signs have been In use In the Oisltld. slnoe the 1970.. We
have rec:enUy updated the sign (see Sh66t 28) end the plant'led of signed
bicycle routes (see Bicycle MastM Plan). Bicycle rovte signs shOuld not necessarily be
plaood on bicycle lane streets. Bicycle routo signs shOuld be installed by the Traffic
Opere1lons Administration or by contractors as pOtt of l'08d reconstruction projects at
1M dlrecUon d 1ho Blcyde Program Office.

INTRODUCTION
How wide is a bi ke lane?
All of the specifcations.. inc::tud'ing width, are oontalMd in this guide. The DDOT and
AASHTO minimum is 5 feet next to a 7foot parking lan&. The prerei'Ted oonfigiJration Is
a 5-foot bike lane next to an 8 or 9foot parking lane to minimize lhe risk of a cyclist
being hit by a car door.
What i s a bieyele-ufe sewer grate?
A bieye:le-safe grate is one in whid'l the bars run perpendicular to the direction of traffic
or that has a grid pattem so that bicyde tires can not get caught. If fhe bars are parallel
to traffic. the bicycle wheel may get stuck in the grate, throwing the cyclist off the bike.
Perpendicular bars do not neoessarity mean lower flow. For areas with high flow, use
the vane grate depicted in drawing number 25. Two of the three grates in the COOT
Standard Drawings are not bicycle safe. DDOT is wor1<Kig to correct this.
Where do I get additional eop1e.s of this Deslgn Guide?
The design guide is available on the DOOT web site and www.ddotdc.govlbike Of from
the 8icyde Program Office at (202) 671 2730.
Can I add bicycl e partting, to a road Where should the racks be pl aced?
Yes, you can add bike par1<1ng to any projec:::t. The Bicycle Program Office can provide
you with acMce and specifications (see Sheets 26 and 27).
What if I see a mistake in t he Design Guide?
This is COOT's first bicycle design guide in 30 years, Staff in all COOT administrations
and staff at the Federal Highway Administration have reviewed the guide. However, as
people use the guk:le over the years, necessary changes will ine'llitably arise. Please
send your comments and questions for future versions to the Bicycle Program Oftioe.
