    | Bike Lane                     | A portion of the roadway that has been designated by striping, signage, and pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use by bicyclists. A bike lane has no physical barrier (bollards, medians, raised curbs, etc) that restrict the encroachment of motorized traffic. Bike lanes are traditionally located on the right-hand side of the street, but can be located on the left-hand side of the street in specific situations. Bike lanes typically run in the same direction as traffic. See Bike Lane - Contraflow below for other configurations. |                    |   |
    | Bike Lane - Buffered          | Similar in every way to a bike lane, but are typically wider, and are separated from traffic by two wide stripes, as opposed to the single stripe of conventional bike lanes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |                    |   |
    | Bike Lane - Climbing          | Climbing Bike Lanes are installed on steep roads going up hill in order to allow cyclists to climb the hill at their own pace, and without traffic intereference. In most cases where climbing bike lanes exist, only a sharrow is used in the down-hill direction. In cases where climbing bike lanes and sharrows are present, mark the bicycle facility as a climbing lane (see South Lamar between Barton Springs and Treadwell for an example).                                                                                                               |                    |   |
    | Bike Lane - Painted           | Painted Bike Lanes are usually found at intersections, and the paint is meant to highlight the location of cyclists on the road.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |                    |   |
    | Bike Lane - Contraflow        | Contraflow bike lanes are installed on low-traffic corridors necessary for the connectivity of a particular bicycle route (see N Lamar Service Rd between 5th and 3rd for an example)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |                    |   |
    | Bike Lane - Protected One-Way | An exclusive facility that combines the user experience of a separated path with the on-street infrastructure of a conventional bike lane. A protected bicycle lane is physically separated from motor vehicle traffic and distinct from the sidewalk. Protected bicycle lanes  may be at street level, at sidewalk level, or at an intermediate height.                                                                                                                                                                                                           |                    |   |
    | Bike Lane - Protected Two-Way | An exclusive facility that combines the user experience of a separated path with the on-street infrastructure of a conventional bike lane.

Paved Trails are shared by multiple users, and may also be known as Urban Trails or Shared Use Path, depending on jurisdiction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |                    |   |
    | Trail - Unpaved               | Crushed granite trails that are typically ADA-accessible                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |                    |   |
    | Bridge                        | Bridges connect facilities across natural barriers, such as creeks. Bridges are only attributed as such when they connect off-street facilities, such as paved and unpaved trails. It is not necessary to designate roadway bridges, such as the Ann Richards Bridge.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |                    |   |

*   CROSS\_SECTION\_GENERAL: This is a generalized classification of a roadway that describes: number of lanes; if a segment is divided or undivided (center turn lanes will be an odd number if undivided); or if a facility is one-way. In addition, if a road is a 2-lane undivided or 3-lane undivided, special designation should be given for highways (-H), rural county roads (-N) and gravel road types (-G). Highways can be defined as TxDOT or County Facilities (FM, RM, CR, SH, etc. designations) or 50 mph and up. Any of these designations can include “-O” or "-OP" for on-street parking. Possible entries include, but are not limited to:

However, other factors may result in other bike facilities to receive this rating, such as traffic volume, so it is possible that Bike Lanes, and even Shared Lanes receive this rating.                                                                                                                                         |                       |
    | High Paved (HP)       | High Paved Comfort ratings are used on paved trails, typically Urban Trails (paved, 10'-12' wide)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |                       |
    | High Unpaved (HU)     | High Unpaved Comfort ratings are used for unpaved trails that are suitable for transportation by users of all ages and abilities. This typically includes crushed granite trails shared with pedestrians (see Lady Bird Lake Trail), but would not include the Barton Creek Greenbelt, as it is more difficult terrain that is only truly accessible on a mountain bike and requires significant skill to traverse.                                           |                       |
    | Medium (M)            | Medium Comfort Ratings are most commonly associated with bike lanes, although other factors may result in other bicycle facilities to receive this rating. In fact, it is not uncommon for roadways without bicycle facilities to be rated M, as their traffic volume, street connectivity and speed limits may lead to a comfortable bicycle ride without needing further improvements. Routes suggested by citizens, for example are often designated as M. |                       |
    | Low (L)               | Low Comfort roads are associated with high traffic volumes and speeds, and little or no bicycle facilities. Roads rated as L are marked because they are key route connections.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |                       |
    | Extremely Low (EL)    | Extremely Low Comfort ratings are given to roads not recommended for bicycle travel, and must be used with extreme caution. They are rated because they are often the only connection to other bicycle facilities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |                       |
    | Rough Trail (RT)      | Rough Trail ratings are given to unpaved trails that are not accessible for transportation to users of all ages and abilities, and often require a mountain bike and considerable skill to traverse. They are rated when they provide key connections to on-street facilities.                                                                                                                                                                                |                       |
    | Helpful Sidewalk (SS) | Helpful Sidewalk ratings are given to sidewalks that provide a safer connection between bicycle facilities than riding on the road. Helpful sidewalks are typically found along highways, and may sometimes connect to to paved and unpaved trails.                                                                                                                                                                                                           |                       |
    | Minor Trail (TC)      | This rating applies to  trails, whether paved or unpaved that is accessible to people of all ages and abilities, but that is not wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic easily. These are often connections from trails to on-street facilities.                                                                                                                                                                                                          |                       |

    | Bike Lane                     | A portion of the roadway that has been designated by striping, signage, and pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use by bicyclists. A bike lane has no physical barrier (bollards, medians, raised curbs, etc) that restrict the encroachment of motorized traffic. Bike lanes are traditionally located on the right-hand side of the street, but can be located on the left-hand side of the street in specific situations. Bike lanes typically run in the same direction as traffic. See Bike Lane - Contraflow below for other configurations. |   |   |
    | Bike Lane - Buffered          | Similar in every way to a bike lane, but are typically wider, and are separated from traffic by two wide stripes, as opposed to the single stripe of conventional bike lanes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |   |   |
    | Bike Lane - Climbing          | Climbing Bike Lanes are installed on steep roads going up hill in order to allow cyclists to climb the hill at their own pace, and without traffic intereference. In most cases where climbing bike lanes exist, only a sharrow is used in the down-hill direction. In cases where climbing bike lanes and sharrows are present, mark the bicycle facility as a climbing lane (see South Lamar between Barton Springs and Treadwell for an example).                                                                                                               |   |   |
    | Bike Lane - Painted           | Painted Bike Lanes are usually found at intersections, and the paint is meant to highlight the location of cyclists on the road.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |   |   |
    | Bike Lane - Contraflow        | Contraflow bike lanes are installed on low-traffic corridors necessary for the connectivity of a particular bicycle route (see N Lamar Service Rd between 5th and 3rd for an example)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |   |   |
    | Bike Lane - Protected One-Way | An exclusive facility that combines the user experience of a separated path with the on-street infrastructure of a conventional bike lane. A protected bicycle lane is physically separated from motor vehicle traffic and distinct from the sidewalk. Protected bicycle lanes  may be at street level, at sidewalk level, or at an intermediate height.                                                                                                                                                                                                           |   |   |
    | Bike Lane - Protected Two-Way | An exclusive facility that combines the user experience of a separated path with the on-street infrastructure of a conventional bike lane. A protected bicycle lane is physically separated from motor vehicle traffic and distinct from the sidewalk. Protected bicycle lanes may be at street level, at sidewalk level, or at an intermediate height.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |   |   |

    | Neighborhood Bikeway          | The following are the recommended speed and volume targets (2014): Speeds: the 85th percentile speed should be managed to be at 25 mph or less, with 20 mph as the preferred speed. Volumes: motor vehicle volumes should be managed to be under 1500 vehicles per day, with up to 3000 vehicles per day allowed in limited sections of the corridor. Additionally, quiet streets must have signage and sharrows. _Check with Active Transportation to see if definition has been updated recently._                                                               |   |   |
    | Sharrows                      | Street markings placed in the travel lane to indicate where people should preferably cycle.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |   |   |
    | Wide Shoulder                 | A shoulder can accommodate bicyclists if it is adequate in width (\~10 ft min)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |   |   |
    | Wide Curb Lane                | A wide curb lane is 14'+ outside lane, typically along TXDOT highway projects.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |   |   |
    | Trail - Paved                 | Paths physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic by an open space or barrier and are located either within the road right-of-way, or accomodated in another way, such as parkland. Paved Trails are shared by multiple users, and may also be known as Urban Trails or Shared Use Path, depending on jurisdiction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |   |   |
    | Trail - Unpaved               | Crushed granite trails that are typically ADA-accessible                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |   |   |
    | Bridge                        | Bridges connect facilities across natural barriers, such as creeks. Bridges are only attributed as such when they connect off-street facilities, such as paved and unpaved trails. It is not necessary to designate roadway bridges, such as the Ann Richards Bridge.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |   |   |
