Starting tomorrow, bicyclists and alternative transportation advocates will see a new round of basic infrastructure improvements along some of the city’s most heavily trafficked roads. A city spokesman says that new pavement markings will be installed along Alderman, West Main and Water roadways beginning Thursday.

The marking on the right shows the portion of the roadway for preferential use by bicyclists." See them below, and study up:
