DVRPC Bike Counts Summary Memo
DVRPCs cyclical bicycle count program, which began in 2014, deploys weeklong bicycle count
equipment throughout the region to measure and track over time bicycle volumes in different
locations and on different types of bicycle facilities (initially trails or sidepaths, bicycle lanes, sharrows,
striped shoulders, and mixed traffic). Count locations reflect input from our member governments and
planning partners. This process memo summarizes counts taken at almost 150 locations and serves as
the base saturation count batch from which a smaller number of locations, to be determined, will be
counted each year, with each location being counted every three years on a rotating schedule.

Types of Facilities
The cyclical count locations are
categorized into five different facility types:
trail or sidepath, mixed traffic, bicycle
lane, sharrow, and striped shoulder. The
prevalence of different types of facilities
varies by county.

Trail or Sidepath
A trail is a multi-use, off-road facility that is used
by bicycles, pedestrians, and other non-motorized
transportation modes. Sidepaths are similar to trails
except they are typically shorter in length, located
immediately adjacent to the cartway, and are
commonly used to fill segments that connect other
trail segments and/or the on-road network.
Mixed Traffic
Mixed traffic locations are defined as any road where
there is no dedicated bicycle facility and bicycles mix
with motorized vehicles.
Bicycle Lane
A bicycle lane is a portion of the roadway that has been
designated by striping, optional signing, and pavement
markings for the preferential and largely exclusive use
of bicyclists. Bicycle lanes are usually found in denser,
more urban locations.
Sharrow
A shared-lane marking or sharrow is a street marking
placed in the travel lane to indicate where people
should preferably bicycle for best visibility and to avoid
being doored adjacent to on-street parking. Sharrows
are typically used for roadways with narrower widths
and/or lower traffic volumes than those selected for
bicycle lanes, and also communicate to drivers that
bicyclists should be expected.
Striped Shoulder
The portion of the roadway contiguous with the
traveled way for accommodation of stopped vehicles,
for emergency use, and for lateral support of the base
and surface courses. The shoulder may be used for
bicycle travel where allowed. It may also be used by
pedestrians in the absence of a sidewalk. Bicycling in a
striped shoulder is usually more common in less dense,
suburban, and more rural areas.
