Here is a stupid question. What does this new road markings actually mean on Hunter Street, Wellington? I've had a look a the Road Code and I can find any thing similar. Does it mean keep your distance from cyclists? Cyclists have right of way? Cyclists must travel in this direction only (it is only a one way street)?

These are 'Shared Arrows' or Sharrows.

  "The marking - a white bicycle with two arrows above it - is used to indicate where cyclists should ride to be most visible and avoid hazards like car doors.  The mark also provides a reminder to drivers that they should watch out for cyclists and share the road."
