Over a decade ago, the first edition of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide sparked a design revolution in cities. City streets are now understood as key elements in confronting the intertwined safety, equity, and climate crises in North

America. The completely revised and updated third edition of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide sets a new standard for street design in North America. Developed for cities, by cities, the new guide is more than a permission slip for better street design--it's a prescription for safe, connected, equitable bike networks. It captures lessons learned and emerging

practices to set a new bar for the design of city streets. The NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Third Edition, will help city leaders and street designers meet the needs of our time. New topics address critical gaps in existing guidance for planning and project development. Contextual guidance for bikeway design encompasses the needs of a wider swath of potential riders, across genders, ages, races, ethnicities, incomes, and abilities. The guide offers substantive guidance for safe intersection design, with a focus on conflict reduction. It is a blueprint for implementing safe, connected, and equitable bike networks. Every transportation professional, from design to maintenance and from field staff to executives, needs a copy for their daily work.
