Streets policies, prepared bicycle plans, and worked to integrate bicycle facilities safely into existing transportation networks without affecting traffic flows. Transportation engineers are evaluating these facilities to determine their effects on both safety State and local governments throughout the US have adopted Complete and the efficiency of traffic flows. For example, researchers at Portland State University recently completed a major assessment of green bicycle lanes in the US. The state of Minnesota has adopted Complete Streets policies, and, in 2015, the Minnesota Department of Transportation developed a Statewide Bicycle System Plan with the goals of safety and comfort for riders, increasing local and regional network connections, and ultimately attracting more riders into the system.
