Bikeways and Pathways
The County Wide Active Transportation System has several different types of corridors, from two-way cycle paths to paved shoulders to signed routes.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| One-way cycle path | A path for cyclists and walkers that is 1.5 m wide on each side of the road. They are often green in colour. |
| Two-way Cycle path | A two-way cycle path is two 1.5 m wide paths that support opposing directions of bicycle traffic. It is separated from vehicle lines by a buffer like a planter or flex bollards. |
| Paved Shoulder | An asphalt lane for bicycles measuring anywhere from 1.2 m to 1.8 m. |
| Buffered Paved Shoulders | An asphalt paved shoulder for cyclists, with a 0.3 m to 1 m buffer between motorized traffic. |
| Multi-use Trail | An asphalt or gravel trail that is a minimum of 3 m wide. |
| Signed Route | Unless cycling is restricted, all roads are designed for both motorists and cyclists. Some roads have “CWATS Route” signs as wayfinders to guide people on the CWATS network. |
