Description

The bicycle shared-lane (sharrow) markings on Emery Street between Park Ave and Emery Street in each direction are spaced too far apart. From the sharrow at the start of the block to the one at the end is about 340 feet, but the federal and state MUTCD recommend spacing of no more than 250 feet between sharrows. The Oakland standard for sharrow spacing is even tighter, with the first one striped 20 feet from the intersection, and then after that at intervals of 150 to 200 feet: http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/pwa/documents/report/oak025115.pdf

As such, at least one additional sharrow marking should be striped toward the center of this block in each direction, using either standard.
