Cincinnati Installs Lane Markings To Increase Safety For Cyclists
Drivers in Cincinnati can expect to see some new lane markings on streets soon.
The city became the first in the region to install “sharrows” (shared lane arrows), which are markings used to remind motorists to share the road with bicyclists. Officials expect sharrows to help cyclists position themselves within the lane to avoid being hit by a suddenly opened car door. The Department of Transportation and Engineering started placing the lane arrows on portions of Clifton Avenue Monday. Parts of Ludlow Avenue and Madison Road are expected to receive sharrows next month. Locations were chosen based on results of a month-long city wide survey of cyclists in the area. The markings will include a bicycle symbol with double arrows at the top and they will be placed every few hundred feet on the pavement. http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story...r2pkopGJQ.cspx |

Why not pay an actual cyclist on an actual bicycle to tide up and down the road in question. If the budget stretches to it, have several cyclists. The combined bike + cyclist would be close to six feet tall and two hundred pounds in weight. That ought to be even more visible than a painted symbol on the roadway, and so might be an even better reminder. Jeremy Parker |
