I noticed something similar on Ellsworth outbound several weeks ago. //headscratch//

How come the sharrows on Butler street are black instead of white?
Sorry if this has been covered in the forum already, I tried searching but to no avail.
I've noticed there are clearly sharrows on Butler Street, but rather than shiny white, they are black. Is this an attempt to erase them in order to establish another bike route through Lville?
What's up?

I think this is just a marking (done with cheap paint) to indicate to road crews the proper position of where to lay the thermoplastic sharrows when they come to install them.

Slippery when wet. Along with thermo, watch out for bus stops / intersections after a light rain.

I noticed one just past 47th on my way home tonight.

I think the last one is just before Stanton Ave.

They paint them black in Lawrenceville because it is "more hipster."

@quizbot - Is that a pictograph of the proper position to assume when attacked by giant sperm?

Maybe the cyclist is in the Lawrenceville Wiggle.
