Class II across T Intersections

[William Sellin]

There are some inconsistencies with Class II Bike Lanes run across the top of “T” intersections in Orange County.

I assume that Bike Lanes are travel lanes, designated for cyclists, and therefore should follow the same rules as other travel lanes across the top of a T intersection...

In some places this is true:

 

 

 

BUT - In other places this is NOT true.

 

 

Can anyone direct me to a MUTCD or DOT Highway Design standard that says all travel lanes should NOT be painted across the top side of a T intersection, or specifically Bike Lanes? 

Thanks!

The California MUTCD was amended to allow bicycle lane markings through intersections (Section 9C.04 Markings For Bicycle Lanes) as follows:

Bicycle Lane Line Extensions through Intersections

Support: 59 The extension of bicycle lanes through intersections advises motorists that bicyclists are likely to use the intended path.

Option: 60 Bicycle lane markings may be extended through intersections consistent with the provisions of Section 3B.08. 61 Bicycle lane markings as shown in Figure 9C-106(CA) may be used within the boundaries of bicycle lane extensions.

 

T-intersections are not distinguished from other intersections.
