Circulatory roadway pavement markings

In general, lane lines should not be striped within the circulatory roadway, regardless of the width of the circulatory roadway. Circulatory lane lines can be misleading in that they may provide drivers a false sense of security.

In addition, bike lane markings within the circulatory roadway are not recommended. The additional width of a bike lane within the circulatory roadway increases vehicular speed and increases the probability of motor vehicle-cyclist crashes. Bicyclists should circulate with other vehicles, travel through the roundabout as a pedestrian on the sidewalk, or use a separate shared-use pedestrian and bicycle facility where provided.
