Cycling Lane in Sinchon?

Hi, little information here. I live right by Sinchon Station (Gyeongui line), which is where the photos below were taken about fifteen minutes ago. These weren't here this morning! About every ten metres or so maybe they're painting a bicycle symbol on the pavement of the rightmost lane of traffic. There is no lane separator, just the entire lane's width is covered by this symbol. I wonder if they're planning on giving an entire lane to bicycles or simply encouraging cyclists to stay off the sidewalk and share the lane. I believe Sinchon is going to have bicycle sharing by next year, isn't it?

Hello! I think that it's part of the new bike sharing program, too. I hope that they install some physical separations between bike lane and car lane. Thanks for informing us! Please keep us informed about the progress in Sinchon because I'm not often in that area.
