Arlington has installed buffered bike lanes on Veitch Street. Buffered lanes are a cross between normal bike lanes and cycletracks. They have more separation from car lanes than regular bike lanes, but unlike cycletracks they do not have vertical barriers.

Arlington installed its first buffered lane last year on Clarendon Blvd, but as far as I’m aware, Veitch Street is the first street in the DC region with buffered lanes in both directions.

There’s also a bike box where Veitch Street meets Lee Highway, just beyond the horizon of this photo.
