It <br />assigns a stress level to streets and bikeways based on factors such as: <br />•Traffic speed <br />•Number of travel lanes <br />•Number of vehicles <br />•Frequency of on-street <br />parking turnover <br />•Ease of intersection <br />crossings <br />•Presence of bike lanes <br />•Presence of physical barrier <br />to bike lane <br />LTS 1 <br />LTS 2 <br />LTS 3 <br />LTS 4 <br />Most children will feel safe bicycling on these streets. <br />The “interested but concerned” adult population <br />will feel safe bicycling on these streets. <br />Streets that are tolerable to “enthused and confident” <br />riders who still prefer having their own dedicated space. <br />High stress streets with high-speed limits, multiple travel <br />lanes and limited or non-existent marked bikeways. <br />ENTHUSED & <br />SOMEWHAT CONFIDENT
