Many in Multnomah County only have diamonds, no arrows, no other markings,
with a ◊ RIGHT LANE BIKE ONLY sign* *every half mile or every block,
whichever comes first, with BIKE ONLY markings and arrows only at the
intersections.  I think they grandfathered themselves in, newer lanes and
other counties replace ◊ with 🚲 (bicycle symbol); prior to the middle of
last decade, bike lanes only had diamonds and occasionally said BIKE ONLY.
