Class III Bike Routes are designated routes on low speed, low volume roadways that do not necessitate dedicated space for bicyclists where bicyclists and motorists are expected to share the road. These roadways can be designated as bicycle boulevards with enhancements including signing and pavement markings, volume management strategies such as diverters, and speed management strategies such as neighborhood traffic circles.

Proposed Traffic Calming DESIGN FEATURES Traffic Diverter:
At a minimum, signing should indicate the - Westonhill Drive roadway is a Bike Route, and sharrows should be provided immediatelyTraffic after anCircles: Neighborhood intersection and at regular intervals (250’ - Kelowna Road minimum) along the route.
Bootes Street Sharrows should be -placed where bicyclists should travel within the shared lane. - Pegasus Avenue
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Sharrows not only indicate to a bicyclists where to ride in the lane, but also remind motorists that bicyclists can be expected to be traveling in the roadway. Sharrow chevrons can be angled to provide route guidance if the route makes a turn on a new roadway.
Bike Routes should be continuous (at least 2 shown is taken at most constrained or complex location within the miles long)Note: andCross-section have minimal turns MENIFEE Active Transportation Plan
