Sharrows Spotted on Marlborough Avenue

Earlier today while riding down Marlborough Avenue after crossing the 15 on the Monroe Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge, I noticed the presence of sharrows.

I suppose that the city of San Diego has learned from its first tentative attempts at sharrow markings. Long time readers will recall that the first sharrows appeared as a sort of Christmas gift to the cyclists in the region on Imperial Avenue over the 805. This is one of the south eastern most edges of the city where I suspect the city is lucky to have three daily riders, if any, in the area.

As far as I am aware, these new sharrows on Marlborough Avenue would be the latest attempts at sharrow markings in the city. I am unclear on where the funding for these sharrows came from as I do not recall reading about them in the details for the current fiscal year’s budget. In fact, I do not recall reading much in the way of budgeting for sharrows at all.

Have you seen sharrow markings anywhere else in the City of San Diego or in the County? Please share your findings and other thoughts in the comments.
