My thinking on this is that the Federal Highway Administration has considered bicycle facilities as a roadway since at least 2000 (the earliest copy of the MUTCD I could find online), and some states like Oregon and California since at least the 1970s. Since the 1990s, I've also noticed cycleways moving from more footway style crossings in the 1990s to, in more recent years, crossings more or fully consistent with what you would expect on roads that are open to motor vehicles. I'd call this a level crossing (sorry for potato quality, I had to take it from a panorama I took). https://i.imgur.com/a5roXn1.png Photo is looking southbound toward https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/932401569
