Bikeway Functions

This map displays TxDOT's draft Bikeway Functions recommendations for state roads and highways in the Odessa District. A Bikeway Function describes the role a roadway may serve for people traveling by bike and helps guide future design decisions.

Bikeway functions are listed starting with the categories that need the most protective designs.

Provide Feedback

Click any highlighted road segment to:

  • Review the recommended bikeway function
  • Answer questions about the recommendation
  • Share comments and suggestions
  • View Street View imagery (when available) and other location-specific information

You may provide feedback on as many locations as you'd like. If no bikeway function is shown on a roadway segment, our analysis did not identify bicycling needs or gaps at that location.

Bicycle Tourism Trails

This map shows recommended Bicycle Tourism Trails. Bicycle tourism can include recreational activities such as going camping by bicycle, touring an area for several days by bike, or taking a recreational day ride. Routes may follow state-owned roads or local roads. This map shows recommended routes from the 2018 Bicycle Tourism Trails Study, with proposed changes that would reach additional destinations, connect travelers to services, or direct bicyclists along more comfortable and appealing routes.

Provide Feedback

Click on a highlighted segment and tell us what you think of the recommendation. You may also select Propose a Different Route button below and draw a line to propose a new Bicycle Tourism Trail route for consideration. You may leave comments on as many locations as you like. If no recommendations are shown on a particular highway segment, that indicates that our analysis did not identify any bicycling needs there.

Scoring Highway Locations and Identifying Priorities

Each location where bicycling needs exist was scored based on statewide planning goals. The goals and criteria used were:

  • Promote Safety: Near collisions sites where people walking or bicycling were injured or killed; near K-12 schools and community centers serving youth and older adults; higher posted speed limits
  • Deliver the Right Project: Higher numbers of bikeway needs present in segment; near upcoming TxDOT projects; improvement could close gap between existing bikeways
  • Focus on the Customer: Higher numbers of public comments left near this location during a previous survey for the district bike plan.
  • Optimize System Performance: Areas where people make more trips of 3 miles or less; near local destinations such as supermarkets, libraries, healthcare, universities, and parks; connects to existing and planned local bikeways; connects to transit stops and stations
  • Preserve our Assets: Maintenance needs for pavement and bridges
  • Foster Stewardship: Areas with greater densities of residents and jobs; near communities in need of affordable transportation options; near communities exposed to high crash and high traffic corridors; near communities with high rates of health issues like asthma and heart disease; near historic destinations like museums and landmarks

To treat large and small communities fairly, scores were compared for highway locations among communities of similar population sizes. This identified high priority locations across the district, in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
