The City of Adrian, in an attempt to become a more bicycle friendly community, has added bicycle lanes and  shared use lanes on various streets throughout the City.

 

The symbol below denotes a dedicated bike lane. This lane is for the use of bicyclists only. No parking is allowed in this lane.

The symbol below denotes a shared use travel lane.

This symbol, also called a sharrow, is used to represent that both vehicles and bicycles are permitted to use the travel lane. The sharrow is often placed outside of parking lanes as seen in the third image.

This signifies the far right lane may be used for parking as well as bicycling. If a car is parked in the shared parking lane, they are to proceed into the travel lane, if it is safe to pass the parked vehicle, and then merge back into the shared parking lane when safe to do so. In any case, bicyclists must abide by any and all traffic signs and regulations. Please be observant of any pedestrian or bicycle traffic while driving.

Please contact Parks & Engineering Services with questions at 517-264-4829.
