Figure 9C-4. Example of Bicycle Lane Treatment at Parking Lane into a Right Turn Only Lane
This figure illustrates an example of bicycle lane treatment at a parking lane that changes into a right turn only lane.
The figure shows the northbound half of a vertical two-way roadway. The centerline is shown as a solid double yellow line. To the right of the yellow lines, two lanes are shown separated from each other by a broken white line. At the top of the figure, a horizontal white stop line extends across all lanes to the right of the centerline. At the bottom of the figure, to the right of the through lanes, a narrower lane is shown, separated from the adjacent lanes by a solid white line and shown with a white symbol of a bicycle in advance of a white forward-pointing arrow shown marked on the pavement in the narrower lane. To the right of the narrower lane at the bottom of the figure, the pavement is shown marked with a solid white vertical line and short horizontal white lines extending to the right of the vertical line, denoting parking spaces.
One third from the bottom of the figure, the vertical solid white line that is shown separating the rightmost lane from the narrow lane is shown changing to a dotted white line. The solid white line that is shown separating the through lane from the narrow lane also is shown changing to a dotted white line. A note with two arrows pointing to both dotted lines states "Dotted lines are optional." The two dotted white lines as well as the broken white line and the solid double yellow line are shown angling slightly to the left to join solid lines farther north, increasing the width of the rightmost lane. Adjacent to the solid white line in the rightmost lane, the word "ONLY" in white is shown marked on the pavement in advance of a white right-turn arrow shown marked on the pavement. Adjacent to this solid white line in the narrow lane, a white symbol of a bicycle is shown marked on the pavement in advance of a white forward-pointing arrow shown marked on the pavement.
At a point designated by a note "R4-4 at beginning of right turn only lane," an R4-4 sign is shown to the right of the roadway, facing northbound traffic. The sign is shown with the words "BEGIN RIGHT TURN LANE" on two lines, a diagonal arrow pointing down and to the left, and the words "YIELD TO BIKES." Next to the word "ONLY" shown marked on the pavement in the rightmost lane, an R3-7R sign is shown to the right of the roadway, facing northbound traffic. It is shown with the words "RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT" on three lines.
