Two chevrons above a bicycle are called a shared-lane marking, or “sharrow.” Sharrows alert all roadway users to watch for bicyclists. While bicyclists are allowed to ride on all UW roadways, roads marked with sharrows generally carry higher volumes of bicycles and cars.
When riding a bicycle on a shared roadway, be courteous and respectful of pedestrians, people in cars and other people on bicycles. Ride predictably and in the correct direction of travel.
Bicyclists may take the full lane (i.e. ride in the center of the lane) even when a sharrow is not present.
