Will bike lanes affect traffic patterns and speed limits?
City of White Plains bike lanes have had a limited effect (only a few minor lane use changes and reductions have been made) on current traffic patterns and do not affect posted speed limits. However, it is advised that as a cautionary measure, drivers reduce their speed when traveling near cyclists. Drivers should also cross only “dashed” line bicycle lane segments, and cross these with caution while looking for active bike riders.
