Color coded map guides cyclists through Lawrence streets
A new city map rates dozens of streets and trails by difficulty to help bicyclists choose safer routes. Green routes have light traffic suitable for beginners, yellow for more experienced riders, and red for high traffic or tricky intersections. Major streets aren’t rated, and alternative paths like New Hampshire and Vermont are encouraged.
