(just like those who ride motorcycles) may ride

Iv. SHArInG THE rOAd
Sharrows
There is a new-ish road marking you see more
and more called a “Sharrow” (pictured). They
are there to mark routes that are recommended
for bike-riding.
Cars are allowed to ride in lanes marked with
Sharrows, too. That is literally why they’re called
“Sharrows”! (“Share” + “arrows” = “Sharrows”).
They serve as an alert to cars that there may be
extra bike traffic on that particular road and, as
a reminder, that they will have to share the road
if they come upon a bike. As we have discussed,
this is something cars must do on any road,
whether a Sharrow is painted on the pavement
or not. There doesn’t have to be a Sharrow, or any
other bike symbol, for a bike to be allowed to ride
on a road. The only roads a bike can’t ride on in
Ohio are freeways and limited-access highways.
As we have also discussed, sharing the road does
not necessarily mean sharing the lane. A cyclist
is often entitled to occupy the entire lane it is in.
If you want to pass a bike, make sure you give it
the three feet of clearance required by state law.
