Hello all,

We (UK) just installed some new on-street bike markings on University Court. Here are a couple pictures:

I would like to get some feedback on what you all think of these. Use this thread for discussion.

Possible meanings of those graphics:

-bicycle alien abductions
-ghost ride the whip lanes
-park your bike under the double roof

But seriously, given how many dumb people in the campus area ride their bikes the wrong direction in the bike lanes, the big arrows are probably necessary.

They're called "sharrows" reminds me of Mario Kart, and I should get a speed boost off each one
