The opportunity brought by “Taiwan Railway Bike Tour” refers to achieving seamless transportation between trains and bikes through the integration of railways and bikeways. Aside from combining green transportation and tourism to promote a low-carbon lifestyle, “Taiwan Railway Bike Tour” also bring benefits to our environment and society.

Pedestrians sidewalks shared with bicycles are planned according to Article 90-3 of "Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act".
When sidewalks are of sufficient width, local government may allow bicycles to share its use and designate them with shared path traffic signs.
Pedestrians have priority shared paths, and bicyclists should yield to pedestrians. Bicyclists should not ride in verandas (sheltered walkways) in front of buildings.

According to Article 124 in the Traffic Safety Regulations, bicycles are classified as slower moving vehicles and should keep to the right-most lane on the road, in the direction of regular traffic.

The Taolin Railroad Bikeway and Nankan Creek Bikeway are not just for recreational use — they are also access roads that provide inter-regional circulation.
Therefore, both bikeways meet the "road" definition under Article 3, Subparagraph 1, of the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act.

1. The Taoyuan City Government has intended for the riverbank bikeway to be a barrier-free environment. However, in order to improve public safety, we had to install barriers to prevent motorcycles from entering the bikeway. Some motorcyclists have tampered with those barriers for the sake of their convenience, which endangers pedestrians and cyclists. Please do not ride motorcycles on bikeways, and help keep this recreation area a safe and pleasant environment.
2. The Taoyuan City Government has established relevant penalties and reporting channels for violations, in order to maintain a friendly space for cycling. Please refer to "Taoyuan City Park Autonomous Management Regulations" and "Violation Cases Handling and the Reward for Reporting Violations of the Taoyuan City Park Autonomous Management Regulations.

The safety and convenience of road users are the primary considerations in the design of the bikeway system in Kaohsiung City. Therefore, the entire system has been built with bikeway markings on the ground and signs along the road. There are also crosswalk markings and signs at each intersection, with increased lighting at night to enhance safety. The rest pavilions, bicycle racks, and informational boards along the route enable visitors to enjoy a diverse and in-depth trip.

Yilan County's bicycling routes mainly consists of the Taiwan Island Circumnavigation arterial route, the Xinan circular line, the Xibei circular line, and other related branch routes.

1. Riverside bikeways provided by the City of Taoyuan makes use of access roads along rivers, which are used for flood control and emergency rescue purposes. However, certain riverbank sections are on private property, or the terrain lacks sufficient setback area to construct a bikeway corridor, which requires connecting the riverside bikeway to nearby roadways. We apologize for the inconvenience.
2. This year, Taoyuan City is allocating budget in yearly stages, and will evaluate existing riverbank areas for suitability to build more riverside bikeways. We ask for your continued support for these efforts.

Bicycle routes in New Taipei City are divided into 2 types: circulation and recreational uses. Recreational types are mostly riverside bikeways. Based on characteristics of roads in New Taipei City, circulation type bikeways are mostly designed for shared use between pedestrians and bicycles, or may be combined with regular traffic lanes. Through the planning of commuter bike green corridors, integrating the MRT system with bike commute transfers, and circulation and recreational types of bikeways, we are dedicated to the interconnectivity of the whole transportation system.

1. Recreational bikeways in Taichung City include the Dongfeng Bicycle Green Way, Hou-Fong bike path, Tanya Shen Green Bikeway, Hanxi Riverside Bikeway, Toubiankeng Bikeway, Zhongke Bikeway, Fazi River Bikeway, Qian Creek Bikeway, Caohu Lake Bikeway, Lotus Valley Bikeway, Dajia and Da'an Bikeway, Gaomei Wetland Bikeway, etc. Maintenance of these bikeways are divided among Taichung City's Tourism and Travel Bureau, Transportation Bureau, and related district offices. The service contact number is 04-25152575.
2. In order to protect the safety of bicyclists, the City of Taichung has declared the Dongfeng Bicycle Green Corridor, Houfeng Bikeway, and Tanya Shen Green Bikeway as "roads" under the definition of Article 3 of the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act. Entry of automobiles, motorcycles, and vendor booths or carts onto these bikeways is prohibited. Furthermore, anyone who disobeys road signs or markings, or who rides in parallel, will be subject to prosecution under the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act.

In recent years, Taipei City has adopted two methods for the construction of bicycle paths: "widening sidewalks" or "marking pavement or hanging signs along existing sidewalks". These methods have been accompanied by major projects such as "Connecting Intercity Riverside Bikeways" and "Improvements of Existing Bike Lanes".

The official route travels counter-clockwise around the island, but you may ride the route clockwise direction, and adjust accordingly.

After receiving feedback from the public, we sent personnel to inspect the cracks on the pavement.
It was found that the cracks were caused by the reflection of the expansion joints at the base of the bikeway to the asphalt surface, and did not affect the safety of passersby.

After receiving feedback from the public, we already had staff examine the section that was reported, and we will improve the lighting condition at night and provide citizens with a brighter and safer cycling space.

It is a way to Pingshi and Gongliao, the scenary along the road is quite beautiful. When cycling on the highway, we must go through tunnels, however, and cyclists are less visible than drivers and motorcyclists.
To ensure the safety of cyclists, the Directorate General of Highways set up the bicycle detection system in Pingshuang Tunnel on Provincial Highway 2C.
When the cyclists enter the tunnel, the warning sign at the entrance will light up and the warning sentence "Please watch out for cyclists" will be displayed on the electronic signs in the tunnel.
It's to remind the drivers to be careful that there are cyclists in the tunnel, and to allow the cyclists to pass through safely.
