Multi-Use vs. Dual Tread Trails
BOOKMARK
Off-street paths are safer when provided with dual treads for walking and cycling. Two separated trails can be provided, near to each other yet separated by grass or landscaping.
In a dual-tread system, two distinguished trails, one for pedestrians and one for cycling, are near one another and separated by grass or landscaping.
Dual Treads – Separated. This off-street bike trail on the edge of a park in Bogotá, Colombia provides separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists, helping to reduce conflicts between all users.
Dual Treads – Separated. Waterfront trail in Izmir, Turkey with two separate trails for cyclists and pedestrians.
