Descrizione
The short bike lane by the gas station on Broadway at Prospect, that is to the right of the straight and right turning cars, is dangerous as you continue towards Kendall Sq as it takes you into the back of parted cars and sudden sharrows and into conflict with card

To clarify my previous response, cyclists should obey all traffic control devices and should only proceed through the intersection when given the green signal indication. My statement should have read: “Several staff members felt that having a marked bike lane at each approach to the intersection was beneficial to allow bikes to get to the stop line around queued vehicles so as to be more visible to traffic.”
To answer the question raised regarding sharrows, these markings are a visual reminder to motorists that they should share the road, as well as a suggested path for cyclists that will enable cars to pass them on the left at a comfortable distance. Cyclists are not required to ride on top of the sharrows and always have the legal right to take the full lane, with or without marked sharrows.
