Just an FYI really: I'm in Britain, and I cycle, and have never heard of the term "sharrow" before today (I'm banking it with my other new word I learnt today: hexalobular!) - looking at the photo of a sharrow, I've also never seen one exactly like that anywhere in Britain before, but I obviously haven't studied every stretch of the country's roads!

I have been tagging stretches of road that have sharrows as highway=*cycleway=sharrows We have one short stretch approaching a busy street where the sharrows are just for the southbound cyclist, and I have tagged that as cycleway:right=sharrows I’ve been doing things this way because it is consistent with cycleway=lane (we are indicating cycling infrastructure defined by paint on pavement). Unfortunately, it doesn’t show up on OpenCycleMap, but it will show up when we download the data for producing our area’s next paper bicycle map. And, if there is a British English equivalent for “sharrows”, it will be easy to search and replace the tag values. Edward L.
