The National Association of City Transportation Officials reports that many European cities use bike boxes as part of their cycling infrastructure, as well as American cities like Portland, New York and Chicago.

Kristen Jeffers with BikeWalkKC says the addition is a welcome one for Kansas City cyclists.

"When done right, bike boxes make cycling a whole lot easier," Jeffers said. "This is just another step for safety and saying, 'Hey, we treat our cyclists just like we treat pedestrians and our drivers."
