FHWA Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Lesson 10 Off-Road Trails 10.1 PurposeOff-road facilities can provide low-stress environments for bicycling andwalking that are separate from motor vehicle traffic. They can be great placesfor novice and child bicyclists to try out their riding skills prior to takingtrips on urban streets. While they have many positive features, design ofoff-road trails must be done with the same care and attention to recognizedguidelines as design of bike lanes on roadways. In addition, trails are oftenextremely popular facilities that are in high demand among rollerbladers,bicyclists, joggers, people walking dogs, and a variety of other users. Theresulting mix and volume of non-motorized traffic can create dangerous conditionsthat should be anticipated during the design phase.The discussion that follows addresses the types and design requirements ofdifferent trail users, and provides a brief overview of design issues andguidelines. More detail on multi-use trail design and engineering is providedin national guidelines set by AASHTO and the MUTCD.Trail user conflicts are an issue when on wide trails like this coastaltrail in Santa Barbara, CA. 10.2 Multi-Use TrailsOnly in very few instances is a trail used exclusively by one type of user.People routinely walk on 'bicycle paths' and mountain bicyclistshave been known to use 'equestrian trails.'
In most cases, it mustbe assumed that trails will be shared by all types of users of all ages andabilities. These different trail users have different objectives, which canresult in conflict. Some use the trail to get to work. Others use it to walkthe dog, jog, or stroll with their children. By understanding the needs ofthese users and designing trails to accommodate expected levels and typesof use, you can build a trail system that plays an important role in the communityor region's transportation and recreation network for years to come.Trails can be designed to include year-round activities such as cross-countryskiing, sledding, and snowmobiling where appropriate.
