<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I just wanted to add that the CycleNet proposal I mentioned in my previous post is simply a numbering protocol added to ALREADY EXISTING (Class I, II and III) bicycle infrastructure. All of the "proposed routes" are actual bicycle infrastructure "out there today." What is being proposed is simply the set of numbers to be used to identify the routes (in a one-to-one correspondence with existing bicycle infrastructure), and eventually (most likely, given things like funding) displayed on the MUTCD-standard sign for that purpose.<br>
<br>
(In the USA, there are three bicycle number signs approved by the MUTCD -- our signage standards -- SG45 is used in California for local bike routes, M1-8 is used for state routes, and M1-9 is used for USBR routes).<br>
<br>
It is cool that this little countywide (an lcn, l being for "local") system for bike routes has familiar "rules:"<br>
<br>
Even routes are primarily east-west,<br>
Odd routes are primarily north-south,<br>
Major/significant routes end in 0 and 5,<br>
Three-digit routes XYZ are based off of route YZ with X a primary direction (odd, N-S; even, E-W).<br>
Suffixes can be appended to numbers:<br>
M = Mountain Bike Trails (no pavement), L = Loop routes, P = Pedestrian/walk bike (dismount), Z = planned, not yet implemented or actual infrastructure, N, S, E, W are direction-restricted traffic segments, A, B, C, D...= Alternate or segmented routes.<br>
