City follows Duke's lead, installs Bike Sharrows
 |

According to this press release, the City is beginning to follow Duke's lead in installing bike “sharrows”on city streets. Bike sharrow is a type of pavement marking indicating that a bicyclist may use the full lane. (as an interesting aside, the name sharrow was coined by Oliver Gajda, of the City and County of San Francisco Bicycle Program, and is a portmanteau of share and arrow.[wikipedia]) The first one were installed on Chapel Hill Street between Kent Street and the bridge over N.C. Highway 147. They are planning to expand the program to Lakewood soon. My hope is that Broad Street, which is perfect for bike sharrows and has considerable bike traffic, is high on the city agenda.
