Sharrows, or shared-lane markings, are informative road markings indicating that a lane is shared by both cyclists and motorists. Sharrows offer the following benefits: 

• Help bicyclists maintain a safe distance from parked vehicles to avoid dooring accidents
• Guide cyclists in lanes too narrow for side-by-side travel with vehicles,
• Indicate the likely position of cyclists within the lane
• Encourage safe passing of bicyclists by motorists, and
• Discourage wrong-way bicycling.
