I think Steve meant "adjacent to the roadway such that you can move onto/across the roadway at your convenience". This adjacency is important in jurisdictions where cyclists are allowed to do this (ie where the use of the lane/track is optional), and where there are a significant prevalence of side

The Danish ones tend to be next to the road (and tend to become painted lanes on the approach to junctions). If there's anything more than a shallow kerb between the cycle-path and the road, then I'd agree - it's a track. Richard On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 2:15 PM, Pieren wrote: > On Mon, Dec 7, 20

In the UK the distinction between lane and track is essentially that tracks are not part of the road, so you are allowed to travel in the "wrong" direction, albeit that there's a bit of an accident problem when crossing side roads :( So I think of the Danish lanes/tracks as a kerb-separated lane, w
