caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: L’avenue du Président Doumer en direction de la Gare SNCF. Cette rue est à deux sens de circulation, dont l’aménagement de cette avenue a été légèrement modifié suite à l’itinéraire cyclable créé fin juin 2011. En direction de la gare SNCF, une bande cyclable est tracée jusqu’au panneau C114 et une traversée vers la rue Laprugne est tracée. En venant de la gare SNCF, il n’était pas possible de tracer une bande cyclable&#160;: les cyclistes sont en voie partagée avec tout le reste de la circulation automobile. Les deux voies sont séparées par une ligne continue. Panneaux visibles&#160;: Fabricant Lacroix signalisation, revêtement rétroréfléchissant de la classe 1.

context_page_description: A shared lane marking, shared-lane marking or sharrow is a street marking installed at locations in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Spain, or the United States. This marking is placed in the travel lane to indicate where people should preferably cycle.
  The US Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices says shared-lane markings may be used to:
  A. Assist cyclists with lateral positioning in a shared lane with on-street parallel parking in order to reduce the chance of a bicyclist impacting the open door of a parked vehicle;
  B. Assist cyclists with lateral positioning in lanes that are too narrow for a motor vehicle and a bicycle to travel side by side within the same traffic lane;
  C. Alert motorists of the lateral location bicyclists are likely to occupy within the traveled way;
  D. Encourage safe passing of bicyclists by motorists; and
  E. Reduce the incidence of wrong-way bicycling.
context_section_description: For several years, the traffic rules of France have allowed shared lanes, there called voies partagées, in addition to two types of dedicated bike lanes. One of those is obligatory, the other one is not obligatory, but also reserved for bicycles. All have the same pictograms on the street surface, but are distinguished by roadside signs.
  In the Czech Republic, a series of sharrows on shared lanes are called Cyklopiktokoridor which translates as "cycle pictogram corridors". For cycle lanes with marked limits, a strict type and a soft type exist (as in France), and are distinguished by different pictograms.
  The concept of shared lane markings has also appeared in Spain  and New Zealand.
  In Germany, the concept is not yet established officially, but some local authorities use simple bike logos for the same purpose, without having a specific term for them.
