Pavement Markings 28/ 42

multimedia section.

Some roads have pavement markings that show lanes specifically designated for the exclusive use of bicycles or for shared use.

  • Exclusive bike lane. Solid white lines separate these bike lanes from motor vehicle travel lanes. Often marked with bike lane signs/symbols.
  • Shared-use lane. Marked with “sharrows.” These markings alert motorists that bicyclists may use the entire lane, indicate to bicyclists where to ride, and discourage bicycling in the wrong direction.
