OAR 734-020-0060
Design and Construction of Bikeways

(1)

The Department of Transportation adopts by reference The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, “Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities,” (Guide), dated August, 1991, to establish bikeway design and construction standards, to establish guidelines for traffic control devices on bikeways including location and type of traffic warning signs and to recommend illumination standards, all in accordance with and pursuant to ORS 366.514 (Use of highway fund for footpaths and bicycle trails), 184.616, 184.619 (Rulemaking authority), and 366.205 (Power and authority of commission over highways).

(2)

The following constitute supplements and exceptions to the August, 1991 Edition of the “Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities”:

(a)

Signing and Marking:

(A)

All bicycle signing and markings on the State Highway System or installed on local city streets or county roads under state contract or agreement shall be in conformance with the current Department of Transportation “Sign Policy and Guidelines for the State Highway System” and the “Traffic Line Manual.” Any signing or markings not included in these guidelines or manual, but which is deemed necessary and required for the bicycle facility shall conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission;

(B)

The standard width longitudinal painted solid line separating the motor vehicle travel way and a bike lane shall be a solid nominal eight-inch wide white stripe as required by OAR 734-020-0055; and

(C)

The desirable width for a one-way bike lane on the State Highway System or installed on local city streets or county roads under state contract or agreement is six feet. Where six feet is not practical to achieve because of physical or economic constraints, a minimum width of four feet may be designated as a bike lane.

(b)

Definitions: For the purpose of this rule and the Guide, the definitions on pages two and three of the Guide shall control, rather than any conflicting statutory or rule definitions. Terms not defined in the Guide shall be given their ordinary every day interpretation, even if defined otherwise for use in specific chapters in the Oregon Revised Statutes.
