TUCSON, Ariz. — The City of Tucson is adding more bike boulevards across several neighborhoods over the next few months.

The green lanes and extensive signage is particularly prevalent near the University of Arizona, but the city hopes to bring it to more neighborhoods.

"These are all low volume low speed streets so we are just adding traffic calming to slow the cars down," he said."The intent is to get cars to go 15-18 miles per hour and that reduces the difference between the speed bikes and cars are going."
