The lane width is one of the most important elements of street cross-section. It will affect safety and efficiency of the street traffic. The lane width in the past mostly took the automobile traffic as the main consideration. With respect to high motorcycle composition, the lane width has to take the motorcycle traffic into consideration. This paper presents the research result of the guideline for determining the mixed lane width. In the mixed lane, most of the vehicles are motorcycle. The research concluded that lane width of 3.5 and 4.0 meters will have the best performance in terms of running speed and chaotic performance of disarray rate in the traffic stream, but if adds on the acceleration noise, 4.0 meters is the best width for mixed lane. This result has been taken as one of main references for lane width determination in Taiwan.
