Table 8

Proposed LOS criteria for bicycle lanes based on cyclist domain.

LOSLOS scoreComments

A<6.5Optimal conditions, ample ability to absorb more riders
B6.5–7Good conditions, some ability to absorb more riders
C>7–7.5Meets current demand, marginal ability to absorb more riders
D>7.5–8Many conflicts, some reduction in bicycle travel speed
E>8–8.5Very crowded, with significantly reduced bicycle travel speed
F>8.5Significant user conflicts and diminished experience
