Carthage bicycle lane striping project nears completion - Four States

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The city is nearing the completion of the bicycle lane striping project. This means that cars and bikes will be sharing the road.

The city has included bike route signs like "sharrows" and bike lanes to show areas designated for bicycles. Sharrows have a bicycle with two arrows above it stating cars and bicycles share the road. Bike lanes are a designated portion of the outside lanes that indicate only bicycles are allowed.

MoBikeFed comment: When this project is complete, Carthage will have (by far!) the most bicyle lanes and routes per capita of any city in Missouri.

That's pretty good!
