Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
A bicycle symbol with chevrons is painted in an ordinary travel lane, without a separate bicycle-lane boundary. What does this marking tell drivers?
The blue car follows a bicyclist in a roadway travel lane marked with a bicycle symbol and two chevrons. An enlarged detail shows the same pavement marking.
Correct answer: Bicycles and cars share the lane; give cyclists safe space.
Why
A shared-lane bicycle marking, often called a sharrow, reminds drivers to expect bicycles and indicates shared use. It differs from a separately marked bicycle lane. Maintain safe space and wait for a safe passing opportunity.
