Class type (0, 0.0, 1, 1X, 2, 2.0, 2.3A, 2B, 2B.0, 2B.3A, 2B.2, 3, 3.0, 3A, 3A.0, 3B, or 4, 4.2, 4.2B, and 4.3A) appears in the ProposedClass (ProposedCl) and ExistingClass (ExistingCl) fields.

If the Class doesn't include a decimal point, the bikeway is existing (or proposed) on both sides of a two-way street or on one side of a one-way street. A decimal point indicates that there is a different class on each side of a two-way street.

Class 1 = bike paths, paved rights-of-way that are completely separated from the street, and typically shared with pedestrians. (Class 1X denotes a path that is thought to be substandard, like the Posey Tube, due to width or other factors.)

Class 2 & variants = bike lanes, lanes striped on streets and designated specifically for bicyclists.

• Class 2 = bike lanes

• Class 2.0 = bike lanes one side of the street, no facility one side of street

• Class 2.3A = bike lanes one side of thre street, sharrows one side of street

• Class 2B = buffered bike lanes

• Class 2B.0 = buffered bike lanes one side of street, no facility one side of street

• Class 2B.3A = buffered bike lanes one side of the street, sharrows one side of street

• Class 2B.2 = buffered bike lanes one side of street, bike lanes one side of street

Class 3 = bike routes, streets on which bicyclists share travel lanes with drivers and are designated by wayfinding signage only.

Class 3A = routes with sharrows and maybe wayfinding signage.

Class 3B = neighborhood bike routes, aka bike boulevards, bikeways on residential streets that prioritize through trips for bicyclists. Oakland’s Class 3B facilities are designated with pavement markings, traffic calming measures, and may have wayfinding signage.

Class 4 = parking protected bikeways, striped on streets, separated from moving traffic by striped buffers and/or vertical elements (delineators, planters, curb). Variant include 4.2B for separated bike lanes on one side and buffered bike lanes on one side (etc.).

Class 0 = no bikeway is proposed or existing, as applicable. Class 0.0 is used to denote proposed bikeways that appear on the annual bikeways print map and are streets that are ok to ride now. (There are three sign-only segments that are currently existing, but not proposed.)

Other fields:

Roadway: the street the bikeway is on

Roadway Order: often, multiple segments make up a continuous bikeway on a street. This is used to sort the segments.

Beginning/Ending: segment endpoints

Vision: yes/no (1/0) designation in 2019 bike plan

PriorityProject; yes/no (1/0) designation in 2019 bike plan

LongDist_Corridor; yes/no (1/0) designation in 2019 bike plan

OtherAgency: where roadway is in another agency's right of way, specified agency

YearCurrentClass: to indicate when the existing class was installed (useful because some bikeways start in one class and change over time)

OneWay_Divided: roadway/line characteristic. Note that not all divided roads in Oakland are designated as divided in the source dataset.
