The Bicycle Highway was designed and field tested as a possible solution to the multifaceted problems associated with vehicular traffic in urban environments. Working through design projects that address issues like this are an integral part of the freshman engineering experience at Drexel. This project is the result of work completed by Dr. Bradley Layton and his freshmen design students in the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics department. As part of Drexel’s undergraduate engineering curriculum, all students are exposed to design in their first year in a course called Engineering 101, or Freshman Design.
