Two painted chevrons appear above a bicycle symbol in the travel lane. What does this sharrow indicate?
Correct answer: The lane is shared by motor vehicles and bicycles.
A shared-lane marking helps cyclists position themselves within a lane also used by motor vehicles. It is distinct from the marking of an exclusive bicycle lane.

A marked bicycle lane separates your car from a driveway you need to enter. What is permitted?

Does a double solid yellow center line prohibit every possible crossing, even to get around an obstruction?
Correct answer: No; the manual preserves the obstruction exception, subject to safety and other controls.
The manual separates ordinary no-passing restrictions from specific lawful crossings such as avoiding an obstruction. The exception does not eliminate the need to yield and avoid oncoming conflicts.
