What is the marking called for shared bike lanes?

Explanation:
Sharrows are the shared-lane markings. They show a bicycle symbol with two chevrons and are painted in the center of the travel lane to indicate that bikes and cars share that lane. This reminds drivers to expect cyclists and to pass with a safe distance, and it signals cyclists that they may use the full lane when needed, especially where there isn’t a dedicated bike lane. This is different from a dedicated bike lane marking, a pedestrian symbol, or a yield marking.
