There are six different bikeway types in San José:

• Bike route with sharrows
• Basic bike lane
• Buffered bike lane
• Green bike lane
• Protected bike lane
• Bike path

Curb extensions, or bulbouts, are used to widen sidewalks, often at corners or mid-block crosswalks. Wider sidewalks also narrow streets or roadways. As a result, this urges drivers to slow their speeds. And curb extensions enhance safety for walkers, rollers, and bicyclists.

Priority Safety Corridors are the major streets in San José where a disproportionately high number of traffic deaths and severe injuries have occurred. Most Priority Safety Corridors are located in "Communities of Concern," which have a concentration of:

• BOTH ethnic or racial minority AND low-income households, OR
• Both low-income households AND an additional factor, including people with disability, seniors 75 years and over, and cost-burdened renters.
