But it's not effectively the same thing. If it were, sharrows
wouldn't have ever been invented.
Now, Steve (and Mike), what's wrong (if anything) with
bicycle=designated; sharrow=yes?
Considering -
bicycle=yes - not useful; generally implied bicycle=yes can be derived
from type of highway= and region of the world.
cycleway=shared_lane, does not describe the situation because existing
convention treats the cycleway as a separate lane
I'm leaning that way:
highway=xxxx + bicycle=designated is similar to the existing highway=path
+ bicycle=designated case.
sharrow=yes might be useful to know how it's signed.
That also raises the question of how to tag differences between opposite
sides of the road;
bicycle:left=designated
bicycle:right=designated
