66:“Bike paths should offer opportunities not provided by the road system. They can either provide a recreational opportunity, or in some instances, can serve as direct high-speed commute routes if cross flow by motor vehicles and pedestrian conflicts can be minimized. The most common applications are along rivers, ocean fronts, canals, utility right of way, abandoned railroad right of way, within school campuses, or within and between parks.

Normally, bike routes are shared with motor vehicles. The use of sidewalks as Class III bikeways is strongly discouraged.“ 98:“Bike lanes are established along streets in corridors where there is significant bicycle demand, and where there are distinct needs that can be served by them... Bike lanes are intended to delineate the right of way assigned to bicyclists and motorists and to provide for more predictable movements by each.” 154:“A bikeway for the exclusive use of bicycles and includes a separation required between the separated bikeway and the through vehicular traffic.
