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!

FULTON COUNTY 2024 ASSESSMENT NOTICES HAVE BEEN ISSUED
