Design considerations for sharrows include: • It is desirable to have 14 foot wide travel lanes when possible, but not necessary. • At corners with turn lanes, bikes should be directed to merge into the full travel lane. • Sharrows should include a bicycle symbol and a chevron (double directional arrow). Standard stencil sizing is approximately 3 feet 3 inches wide by 9 feet 3 inches long. • Where parking is permitted, stencils for sharrows should be at least 11 feet from the curb or 4 feet from on-street parking (5 feet preferred) so they do not encourage bicyclists to travel in the “door zone”. • The optimal location for the symbol is the center of the lane so they can be easily seen by motorists. Sharrow in Use • Not placed at the approach of intersections, lest they direct cyclists to the wrong location on the road.

Signed and Shared Roadways – Wide Curb Lanes A wide curb lane is a right hand or curb side lane that is wider than a typical travel lane, oversized to better accommodate both bicycle and motor vehicle travel in the same travel lane. The wide curb lane allows motorists to pass bicyclists without changing lanes and has a positive impact on motor vehicle capacity whether bikes are present or not. In addition, a wider curb lane provides more negotiation room for motorists entering the travel lane from driveways or areas with limited site distance. Wide curb lanes are not striped or marked but are often needed to help accommodate bicycle travel on major urban streets. Bike lanes or sharrows should be considered if the street is to be designated an official bicycle routes. In general, 14-15 feet of usable lane width is the recommended width for shared use in a wide curb lane. It is not advisable to install lanes wider than 15 feet for continuous distances as this has been shown to increase vehicle speeds and compels drivers to operate two vehicles in one lane. Design considerations for wide curb lanes include: • Right hand curb lane should have a minimum of 14 feet of usable width but not exceed 15 feet. • If parking is present, calculate the width from the curb face and include the gutter. • If parking is not present, do not include the gutter in the width calcuation.
