Safety Tip of the Week

Sharrow the Road

Have you noticed the new bike lanes and shared-use lane arrows (sharrows) on some streets on the WSU campus? Shared-use lanes may cause some confusion for bicyclists and motorists who have not experienced them before. Learn more about sharing the road with bicycles and bicycle safety.

For more safety tips, contact Environmental Health and Safety at ehs@wsu.edu.
