SCENARIO 1 

What do you like about Scenario 1? What are its strengths? 

It includes bicycle facilities.  They appear to be the same as in Scenario 2.

What do you dislike about Scenario 1? What are its weaknesses? 

	•	Bikeable shoulders is nonsense. (Old Cheat Rd.)  Shoulders are not part of the roadway and are not designed or built for travel. Shoulders are usually not safe for travel because they are not kept clear of debris, snow and ice.  Some studies have also shown that motorists allow less space between their vehicle and a bicyclist when passing a bicyclist that is riding on the shoulder or in bike lanes than a bicyclist that is riding in the roadway.  Bicyclists rights and duties on shoulders are undefined while bicyclists rights and duties on roadways are defined by WV law.  WV 17C-11-2 says that every person riding a bicycle upon a roadway shall be granted the same rights as applicable to the driver of a vehicle. 
	•	Bike lanes are designated in locations in which they are inappropriate. (Stewartstown Rd., West Run Rd.)  Bike lanes should not be installed where there is a high risk of right hooks, left crosses and driveouts. In such situations, the bicyclist can be obscured by passing vehicles and by parked cars or vegetation on the right.  Bike lanes are only appropriate where the speed differential between motor vehicles and bicycles is excessive, say greater than 25 mph and there are few if any intersections or driveways and consequently minimal crossing traffic. 
	•	Wide lanes that enable motor vehicles to pass bicyclists safely, i.e. with a distance of at least 4 feet, are appropriate in situations in which the speed differential is less than 25 mph or there are many driveways and intersections. 

SCENARIO 2 

What do you like about Scenario 2? What are its strengths? 

Same as Scenario 1 as far as bicycles are concerned.

What do you dislike about Scenario 2? What are its weaknesses? 

Same as Scenario 1 as far as bicycles are concerned.

What is missing from either or both Scenarios? 

Several corridors, see Other Corridors below.
