Shared Roadway Bicycle Marking <br />Recently, Shared Lane Marking stencils have been introduced for use in California as an additional <br />treatment for Class III facilities. The stencil can serve a number of purposes, such as making <br />motorists aware of bicycles potentially in their lane, showing bicyclists the direction of travel, and, <br />with proper placement, reminding bicyclists to bike further from parked cars to prevent "dooring" <br />collisions. <br />Figure 2.11 illustrates recommended placement of the stencil in the roadway and the "Chevron" <br />marking design recommended by Caltrans. Caltrans adopted the following pavement markings for <br />official use in 2005 as part of the California MUTCD. <br />All rou rid' a3meirs. <br />25 mrn (1 m) dadius <br />4 <br />�i <br />V <br />'n3 .•tip : r3 ! e "a3 @'J <br />a <br />III � C <br />rrrrl n;.i ni . <br />F6!�Y <br />is <br />i.: {+pr.�frti I iiiS lT!!4 <br />}C _ <br />6Sl <br />5 <br />491 ^m �7D re] <br />NO SALE <br />152 mm x 152 mrn gild <br />(.6 in X 6 in i <br />1�.1. <br />Figure 2.11: Shared Lane Marking Placement and Shared Roadway Bicycle Marking <br />OCTA Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan <br />
