Protected Bike Lane Demonstration Project What is a Protected Bike Lane? Protected bike lanes physically separate people riding bikes from drivers. More people in Saskatoon would cycle to work or cycle more often but are hesitant to do so for a variety of reasons. Protected bike lanes make this transportation option more attractive by increasing the comfort level and feeling of safety by ‘protecting’ cyclists from traffic and car doors opening. The lanes also benefit drivers, as separate space for cyclists increases the predictability and comfort of driving. It also reduces ‘sidewalk riding’ which is beneficial for pedestrians.

Protected Bike Lane Demonstration Project What is a Green Lane? A green lane is a bike lane within a traffic lane. When a person riding a bike is present, the traffic speed is limited to their speed. Motor vehicles are welcome at the pace of bicyclists. Motorists should not overtake people on bikes in this lane. This style of road layout allows for an increase in street parking while improving priority for bicyclists.

Building on the current major access points for people riding bikes to the downtown, a north-south and east-west street pair was determined based on an in-depth examination of downtown streets and how they connect to the larger city.
