BTMO Bike Route Guide

We are excited to roll out our new Burbank Cycling Guide, which integrates a variety of data including cycling metrics to create a comprehensive bikeability index. This map is designed to help cyclists plan their routes in Burbank by providing detailed information on road conditions and cycling infrastructure. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or new to biking, this guide offers valuable insights to help you navigate the city with confidence.

Key (Look on Map for Color Scheme):

Dedicated Bike Paths, High Connectivity – Paths only meant for pedestrians and cyclists, optimal for biking.

Ideal Road Segments for Biking – These are road segments identified as preferred for bike use, where bikes and cars share the road.

Better Cycling Roads, Exercise Caution – These are road segments that may have more vehicle interactions and varying road conditions.

Challenging Road Segments – These roads have high speed limits, high traffic, poor bike lane infrastructure or previous history of accidents. High caution is advised if you are biking here.

Do not Bike on a Highway – Highways where biking is strongly discouraged.

Methods: Speed limit for cars, road segment length, number of lanes, road intensity, accident history, and current bike lane infrastructure are used to determine the safety of a road segment. The different levels of safety are based on prior research showing that under 25 mph speed limit roads, residential side streets, and road segments/blocks that do not exceed 400 feet in length are safest for cyclists. This research and data was found through OpenStreetMaps, NACTO, SCAG, and other sources.
