Some main roads have a paved shoulder at least one metre wide, perfectly safe for use by cyclists.

Designated roadways are secondary roads with lighter traffic (under 2,000 vehicles per day), officially recognized for bicycle use. Special signs (bicycle and car on a yellow background) indicate routes shared by drivers and cyclists.

Many of the bike paths along La Route verte are laid out on old railway tracks. These multipurpose paths are shared with other users, mainly hikers.
