In the middle of a narrow city travel lane, you see a white marking painted on the road: a bicycle symbol with two chevrons (arrow points) above it. What does it tell you?
A is in a narrow city travel lane between a yellow center line and the curb. A white bicycle with two chevrons is painted in the middle of the lane and shown again in an enlarged detail; no cyclist or lane-use answer is displayed.
Correct answer: Bicyclists may ride in the lane, so expect them and share the lane.
Why
Shared lane markings are used where the lane is too narrow for a car and a bicycle side by side, or where the doors of parked cars could hit a bicyclist. They also help to stop wrong-way bicycling. When a bicyclist rides in the center of such a lane, slow down and wait until you can pass safely.
