Which statement about bicycle boulevards is true?

• A. Prioritizes bicycle travel on streets shared with vehicle traffic.
• B. Is a protected, fully separated bike lane.
• C. Prohibits all motor vehicles.
• D. Is a route that avoids all streets with traffic.

Answer: (A)

Bicycle boulevards are on-street routes designed to make riding easier on streets where cars also travel, using traffic calming, signage, and intersection timing to prioritize bikes and reduce motorized through-traffic. That means bikes flow more smoothly on streets shared with vehicles, while cars are allowed to use the street but are encouraged to drive more cautiously and yield where appropriate. So the statement that bicycle boulevards prioritize bicycle travel on streets shared with vehicle traffic is the best description. They are not necessarily protected, fully separated bike lanes, and they do not ban motor vehicles or route riders away from all streets with traffic.
