The most preferred means of transportation is cycling. Not only because its the quickest and easiest way around, but also it is environmentally friendly, and keeps the body fit and trim. Cycling around town is safe and harmless for many pedestrians, and with bike lanes created all over cities and towns traffic incidents are lowered.

There are fourteen kinds of separators and are used throughout many city states. These indicators help motorists and bicycle drives by showing a demarcation line between the busy street and cyclist lane. For most vehicle owners it is common knowledge that turning right at a bike lane they must merge within the route, and not cut off the cyclist to avoid sudden collision from bicycle and vehicle.

It may not aesthetically pleasing for most people, but its durability is for the long term and cost around eight to sixteen grand per lane mile. The park car is designed to keep bicycle drivers between the pedestrian lane and the parked vehicles along the street.

There are fourteen types of separator to choose from. But based on their protection level the method used for top notch safety are large bumps, parked cars, jersey barriers, planters, rigid bollards, twelve inch precast curb, and raised cyclist way. The lowest protection level are cast in place curb, oblong low bumps, and striped buffer.

Designed to protect riders from moving vehicles by placing the park car between the bike lane and moving traffic. The parked car is eleven feet and roughly cost around eight to sixteen grand per lane mile.
