They only want safe places to ride
jnojr, Although riding down a street is as safe as walking or driving, sharrows are painted on the road as..... a) many cyclist don't realize it's safer there, out in the lane, rather than hiding out in the dooring zone where cars are far less likely to see you. Sharrows show them the safest place to ride. b) many motorists, and indeed many cyclists (and some police) mistakenly think that cyclists legally have to stay all the way to the right (where they may not be seen by turning cars). Sharrows confirm to all their legal right. It should be noted that the legal right for cyclists to take the full lane is not limited to roads with Sharrows, they are just confirmation or reminders. Cyclists can take the full lane on any road in certain special conditions, and on MOST roads all the time simply because they are not wide enough for cars and vehicles to operate safely side-by-side within the lane.— November 10, 2015 5:01 p.m.
