Bicycle shared lane pavement marking stencil now manufactured by Alphabet Signs

May 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Alphabet Signs, one of the nation’s largest Internet retailers of pavement stencils, located in Wilmington DE now carries the sharrow - a shared bicycle lane stencil.

According to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) , these are "Shared Roadway Markings" which are intended to show where cyclists can ride on the street without being hit by a suddenly opened car door. Although it is the motorist's responsibility to check before opening their door, riding too close to parked cars (in the "door zone") is still a common mistake that can lead to serious injury. These markings will also be used in situations where it may not be obvious where cyclists should be riding, such as at intersections with multiple turn lanes.

The BICYCLE SHARROW STENCIL is 40"W x 112"H and its overall measurement is 54"W x 122"H. There is a 5" wide border to prevent overspray. The graphic is made to the Federal Highway Administration MUTCD standards for bicycle shared lane symbols and has been designed and field tested for maximum legibility.

The sharrow stencils are made of 1/10" thick semi-rigid plastic and can be used over and over again. Alphabet Signs stencils are better than the competitors because the material is specially formulated for pavement striping to weighs a little more and lay flatter. This helps prevent under-spray. The pavement stencil material has a specific resin, produced at exact specifications, so it is virtually waveless and has a very smooth surface. These properties make the stencil lay flatter and clean up easily.
