The Maryland State Highway
Administration (SHA) released Bicycle Policy and Design Guidelines that outline
ways transportation planners and engineers can improve bicycling in Maryland.
The guidelines present a consistent approach to bicycle facility design that
recognizes the potential safety concerns of intermingling bicycles with
vehicles. The document suggests creating a statewide bikeway network to
increase motorist awareness and acceptance of bicyclists as legitimate roadway
users and actively promote safe bicycling along roadways. Read the guidelines online.
