Class 2 and 3 Bikeways Map

There are three types of trails in Granite Bay:

• Class I Bikeway - Typically called a bike path or trail, it provides for bicycle travel on a paved right of way completely separated from any street or highway.

• Class II Bikeway – Often referred to as a bike lane.  Provides a striped and stenciled lane for one-way travel on a street or highway.  The right-of-way could be shared with vehicle parking.

• Class III Bikeway - Referred to as a bike route.  Provides for shared use with pedestrian or motor vehicle traffic and is identified only by signing.

• Multiple Use Trails - Most multiple purpose trails are developed and designed for recreational purposes and are the de-facto pedestrian facility for most roadways and compliment the on-road bicycle path system.

The existing multiple use trails within Granite Bay are listed in the following table.
