摘要：	On urban streets, bicyclists must often ride in the narrow gap between traffic and parked cars, where they may become victims of a dooring crash, in which the door of a parked car opens suddenly into the bicyclists path. The bicyclist can be injured by striking the door and being thrown from the bicycle or by swerving into traffic to avoid the open car door. Between 2000 and 2009, 52 such incidents were reported along a busy, one-mile stretch of Washington Avenue in Miami, Florida. To test a proposed solution to this problem, the City of Miami Beach sought to conduct a pilot study on Washington Avenue of shared lane markings. Specifically, bike-and-chevron markings were placed in the center of the outside lane to encourage bicyclists to take over the lane. A variety of campaigns informed the public about the shared bike lanes, including flyers distributed door-to-door along the corridor, articles in local magazines and on the city Web site, an electronic newsletter, social media, and others.
