Bicycle Boulevards in Berkeley
What
is a Bicycle Boulevard?
Bicycle
boulevards are low-traffic neighborhood streets that have been optimized
for bicycling. They provide direct, attractive routes for bikes. Berkeley
has taken the general concept of a bicycle boulevard and
tailored it to fit its street network.
The
Bicycle Boulevard Network
Seven boulevards make up the bicycle boulevard network. Each is
named after the street that it entirely, or in large part, travels along.
Click on a boulevard to find out the exact route and the many destinations
you can reach on that boulevard.
Signage
System
The
system includes seven sign types and one pavement legend, each serving a
specific purpose. See descriptions and photos of them here.

The adopted Bicycle
Boulevard Design Tools and Guidelines Report describes
the tools that could be used on the bicycle boulevards to slow traffic and
to create safer crossings at major streets. Many of these tools, such as
traffic circles and specialized traffic signals, are already being used on
streets throughout Berkeley.
Planning
& Implementation History

boulevards were developed, what has been done on them to date, and how the
