Bike Boulevards

The bike boulevard traffic calming measure reduces speeding, which improves safety for pedestrians, bike riders, and drivers.

 

Protected Bike Lanes

Protected bike lanes use physical dividers to separate people biking from people driving and walking. These exclusive bike lanes combine the user experience of a trail with the on-street design of a traditional bike lane.

 

Buffered Bike Lanes

A buffered bike lane is similar to a regular bike lane, but also includes a marked buffer between the bike lane and adjacent travel lanes.

 

Bike Lanes

Milwaukee Department of Public Works has a comprehensive network of bike lanes and routes for Milwaukee residents to use and enjoy.

 

Shared Lane Markings

Shared Lane Marking (sometimes called sharrows) are street markings that are installed in a few locations on Milwaukee streets as an awareness tool for drivers, bike riders, and pedestrians.

 

Bridge Plating

Plating makes crossing bridges with open metal decking safer for people riding bikes.

 

Trails

Along with miles of bike lanes, Milwaukee has numerous off-street bike paths that run throughout the city including the Beerline Trail, KK River Trail, and the Oak Leaf Trail.
