The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) has released a new guide, Designing for All Ages and Abilities: Contextual Guidance for High-Comfort Bicycle Facilities that will help cities determine what types of bike infrastructure help in achieving the goal to build bike networks that are safe and comfortable for riders of all ages and abilities.
In addition to design factors, the guide focuses on two key safety factors - vehicle speeds and traffic volume - to help assess and decide what treatments will improve safety and encourage increased bicycling.
