Seen these markings on the pavement? They’re called Sharrows (short for Shared-Lane Arrows)and are meant to offer positioning guidance to bicyclists riding on the road, keeping them away from the “Door Zone” & out of the gutter. They also tell motorists to look for bicyclists & help foster the idea of a shared space on streets that don’t have bike lanes.
