California MUTCD Section 9C.04 Markings For Bicycle Lanes Guidance:

Longitudinal pavement markings should be used to define bicycle lanes. Support:

Pavement markings designate that portion of the roadway for preferential use by bicyclists. Markings inform all road users of the restricted nature of the bicycle lane.

Examples of bicycle lane markings at right-turn lanes are shown in Figures 9C-1, 9C-3, and 9C-4.

Examples of pavement markings for bicycle lanes on a two-way street are shown in Figure 9C-5. Pavement symbols and markings for bicycle lanes are shown in Figure 9C-6. Standard:

If used, the bicycle lane symbol marking (see Figure 9C-6) shall be placed immediately after an intersection and at other locations as needed. The bicycle lane symbol marking shall be white. If the bicycle lane symbol marking is used in conjunction with other word or symbol messages, it shall precede them.

Typical text (Standard=shall, Guidance=should, Option=May…)

Typical figure (Blue markups = California differences from US)
