Signage

signAnalysis indicates a severe deprivation of appropriate signage to make motorists aware of possible cyclists riding on the shoulder. Intervals between major bike signs were recorded on a southbound section of the highway from Squamish to West Vancouver. The 50 kilometre stretch of highway is equipped with only 7 primary bike signs; similar to shoulder width, a disproportionate number of them are located in less-dangerous residential areas.
