1. Shared-use path
A shared-use path, mixed-use path or multi-use pathway is a path which is 'designed to accommodate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists'. Examples of shared-use paths include sidewalks designated as shared-use, bridleways and rail trails. A shared-use path typically has a surface that is asphalt, concrete or firmly packed crushed aggregate. Shared-use paths differ from cycle tracks and cycle paths in that shared-use paths are designed to include pedestrians even if the primary anticipated users are cyclists.
- Physically separated from roads (unlike bike lanes).
- Wide enough to accommodate multiple users safely.
- Marked with signs & pavement symbols to guide different users.
- Smooth surfaces for easy mobility (asphalt, concrete, or packed gravel).
- Used for recreation & transportation in parks, greenways, and urban areas.
- Cyclists give way to pedestrians and announce when passing.
- No blocking the path – Keep moving or step aside.
