No changes to San Francisco's roads (including the addition of lanes, sharrows or parking areas) can be made until any and all effects have been considered in the EIR, of which the draft can be found [http://www.sfmta.com/cms/bproj/documents/BicyclePlan_ExecSummary_Handout_November_2008.pdf here].

They share the road and follow many of the same rules as cars, such as following the flow of traffic and staying on the pavement, unless the sidewalk is specifically designated as a bike path. Many streets have bike lanes, but only the intersection of ["Fell Street" Fell] and ["Masonic Avenue" Masonic] has a bike traffic signal! +

parking meters :(

Line 14:	Line 14:
	+ + In July 2008, the city launched a program designed to help drivers -- that may ultimately hurt cyclists -- by replacing more than 6,000 bike-friendly ["parking"] meters with electronic pay stations. The Superior Court has placed an injunction on the city forbidding the placement of new bike racks until after the [http://www.sfmta.com/cms/bproj/bikeplan.htm San Francisco Bike Plan] is reviewed and as a result the possibility of losing valuable bike parking is very real, even in a city that actively promotes bicycling. Upon criticism, city officials are considering simply replacing the parking meter tops with sculptures. More information about the program can be found in a ["San Francisco Chronicle" Chronicle] article [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/17/BA8A11QAAG.DTL here].
