We’re excited to announce the implementation of Shared Lane Markings (Sharrows) as part of the Fairburn Bicycle Trails Plan!
Originally developed in 2017, this plan aims to provide a safer, alternate route for cyclists away from the busy SR14/US 29.
What are Sharrows?
Sharrows are white pavement markings showing a bicycle symbol with two chevrons, reminding both cyclists and motorists to share the lane. While traditional bike lanes require more space, sharrows are a flexible solution to promote recreational cycling on local roads with lower speed limits and fewer safety concerns.
Benefits of Sharrows:
- Reinforce the legitimacy of bicycle traffic
- Recommend proper bicyclist positioning
- Alert motorists to bicycle traffic, ensuring safer coexistence between vehicles and bikes
Keep an eye out for these new markings and let’s work together to create a safe, bike-friendly Fairburn!
Stay informed and stay safe, Fairburn! Sign up for CivicReady to receive real-time alerts about weather hazards, emergency road closures, and important community notices. Don’t miss out on the latest updates that keep you and your family prepared and in the know. Sign up today and stay connected!
