I'm not sure if the Vienna Convention on Traffic is self-executing (or if
not, if there is any implementing legislation), but that's interesting to
know nonetheless.  I'd guess the vast majority of (if not all) roads on
which bicycles are not allowed are going to be marked as such, both here in
Florida and in "every other state and province in north america".  Makes
things a lot easier :).
