Correct answer
- AAcera-biciAcera-bici (pavement cycle path)
The correct answer is acera-bici. It is essential to distinguish the types of cycle routes by where they are: 1. Acera-bici (pavement cycle path): a cycle route marked on the pavement (the pedestrian area). 2. Carril-bici (cycle lane): a cycle route running alongside the carriageway (where cars travel), either one-way or two-way. 3. Pista-bici (cycle track): a cycle route separated from motor traffic, with its own route independent of the roads. So if the route is “on the pavement” (acera), its technical name includes that word.
