March 6, 2024/

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reported in 2022 that bicycle lanes could reduce crashes on local roads by between 30% and 49%.

A new study has found that bicycle lanes, especially those with physical or visual barriers, can have a calming effect on traffic.

According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), crashes involving motor vehicles are a leading cause of death in the United States among individuals younger than 55 years old.
