Comment:
This section focuses on the operational analyses of uninterrupted bicycle facilities, including exclusive off–street bicycle paths, mixed–use off–street paths, and designated bicycle lanes (or Paved Shoulder). The concept of frequency of events" is proposed as the service measure of effectiveness for all three types of uninterrupted bicycle facilities.

Abstract:

The objective of this project was to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document contains both new and revised procedures for analyzing various types of exclusive and mixed–use bicycle facilities. These procedures are recommended to determine the level of service for bicycle facilities on the basis of previous domestic and international bicycle operations research conducted to date. This document only addresses procedures for streets, roads, and intersections with designated bicycle facilities. In addition to this report, there were two additional reports produced as part of this effort on Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities.
