The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Program recently developed a new sign to warn cyclists and motorists that a bike lane is about to end abruptly. This sign was developed in cooperation with the Oregon Traffic Control Devices Committee and representatives of several local jurisdictions throughout the State.
Signs add clutter to a roadway.
The R3-17 sign often made no sense. For example, where the outside lane is a parking lane. Or where drivers don't even understand what a bike lane is. For most drivers, the outer driving is the right lane. The R3-16 signs make even less sense.
