In the rural area, improvement projects for major roadways typically include wide shoulders (four-six feet) to accommo-
date wide and slow-moving farm equipment. While not specifically designated as bike lanes, these wide shoulders serve
as shared-roadway bikeways and are considered part of the rural bikeway system. Approximately 23 percent of the
major rural road network is improved with wide shoulders (four-six feet). The majority of rural bikeway facilities (81 lanes
miles) are located on state highways. The portions of the state highway system that have reasonably sized shoulders
(four feet or more) that can facilitate bicycling include Highway 47 between Forest Grove and Gaston, and Highway 99W
between Tigard and the County line. A limited number of County rural roads, including Roy Rogers Road and Cornelius-
Schefflin Road, have been improved with wide shoulders. In total, there are approximately 69 lane miles of existing rural
bikeways (minimum four-foot-wide paved shoulders) on County facilities. Washington County has jurisdiction over 548
lane miles of rural arterial and collector roads; therefore the County’s rural bikeway system is approximately 13 percent
complete.
