Other Bikeways consist of bike lanes, marked-shared lanes, contraflow bike lanes and bicycle priority lanes. Bike lanes are striped, on-street lanes with a bicycle symbol and an arrow. Marked shared lanes are not striped but show the bicycle symbol and a chevron; they are typically installed when there is not enough width for a full bike lane. Contraflow bike lanes are designated bike lanes marked to allow bicyclists to travel against the flow of motor vehicle traffic on a one-way street. Bicycle priority lanes are a shared lane treatment designed by a shared lane marking outlined with dashed lines in the middle of a travel lane.

These lanes can be found on the Chicago Bike Map.
