Sharrows Pavement Marking
RDOT has been researching Sharrows, a relatively new pavement marking that is used to inform motorists and cyclists that they are on a shared roadway where no other bicycle facility, such as a bike lane exists (see attached pictures). These pavement markings are not currently in the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). However, they have been successfully used in a "test" basis in Athens-Clarke County, GA.
RDOT plans to install several sharrows as a pilot project on Riverside Road to study them in more depth.
