<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>United States Bicycle Routes (USBR) are numbered routes for bicyclists that exist as a subset of the U.S. Numbered and Interstate Systems managed by t</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN>he American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials </SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>(AASHTO) Council on Highways and Streets. AASHTO indicates: “The purpose of the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS) is to facilitate bicycle travel on appropriate roads, paths and highways over routes that are desirable for interstate bicyclists. A route should form continuity of available roads through two or more states connecting and traversing areas of scenic, cultural, and recreational interest.” </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://transportation.org/route/about-us/" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>https://transportation.org/route/about-us/</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN> </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) does not define “appropriate” in the statement above. Designation of a US Bike Route signifies that a route is legally usable by bicyclists and officially recognized and approved with a route number but does not certify that such routes provide facilities specifically designed for bicyclists or even designed to accommodate bicyclists. US Bicycle Routes may or may not include </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>bicycle facilities</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>, </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>bicycle lanes</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>, or </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>bikeways</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN> as defined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Neither the MUTCD, nor the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) define </SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>bicycle route</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN>. “Route” is a generic term referring to an established or selected course of travel. US Bicycle Routes in Washington State should be regarded as navigation aids only, similar to other named routes such as scenic byways. WSDOT does not have policy that requires bicycle facilities to be present in order for a US Bike Route to be designated. US Bicycle Routes in Washington State may, or may not include signage to aid bicycle navigation. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>Please direct questions about this dataset to: </SPAN><A href="mailto:grace.young@wsdot.wa.gov:25" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>grace.young@wsdot.wa.gov</SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
