Bicycle Lanes

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.
