Link Bicycle Level of Service (BLOS) : Cells With Gray Fill and Black Letters Are Output

The document provides information and calculations for determining the bicycle level of service (BLOS) for different types of bicycle facilities including links, intersections, segments, and pathways. It includes inputs for factors like lane widths, traffic volumes, speeds, and the number of access points. The intermediate calculations and outputs provide the bicycle traveler perception index and resulting BLOS on a scale of A to F.
