Cycling & Multi-use Network

Existing Cycling Facilities in Vaughan

The cycle network in Vaughan is growing and consists of five types of cycle facilities:

	1. Bike Lanes Bike lanes are a dedicated space for cyclists located in the traveled portion of the roadway for one-way cyclist traffic where motorists are not allowed to park, stand or drive. Bike lanes are typically located on urban streets.
	2. Bike Routes (Signed and Sharrows) Bike routes, including signage and sometimes sharrows (pavement markings), are preferred routes for cycling, but no physical changes are made to the roadway.
	3. Paved Shoulders A paved shoulder is located next to the traveled portion of the roadway. Paved shoulders are used to accommodate cyclists on rural roads. Paved shoulders shown here are for roadways which generally have less than 10,000 daily vehicles and posted speed limits of less than 80 km/h.
	4. Multi-use Boulevard Pathways A boulevard path is separated from the traveled portion of a road, in the right-of-way. Boulevard paths are designed to support pedestrians and cyclists of all skill levels, in-line skaters and skateboarders, in locations where the path surface permits these activities.
	5. Multi-use Recreational Pathways A multi-use trail is a facility completely outside of the road right-of-way and often passing through parks or other green spaces. Multi-use trails are designed for pedestrians, cyclists, in-line skaters and skateboarders, in locations where the trail surface permits these activities.
