Not only that, but around downtown Portland (LCN-40, the Willamette Greenway Trail segment) and brief portions of SE Vera Katz Esplanade, are highway=cycleway with widths exceeding 10 (there's a few spots, such as the 000 block of SW Salmon Street between Willamette Greenway and Naito Parkway around Salmon Street Springs that really should be redone to be a closed way, highway=cycleway, area=yes to be properly mapped, as the cycleway is unbelievably wide and uses the fountain as a central island for an intersection, forcing the approach from the not-cycleway portion of Salmon Street to be unbelievably wide (especially given that cyclists entering the cycleway from Salmon Street do so in the center lane, entering the cycleway area almost dead center to the fountain and frequently having to make a hard veer to the right to avoid pedestrians or the fountain itself on a sunny day, if they're pushing a yellow light. (On wet days, there's usually no pedestrians and many cyclists take a shortcut through the fountain since they're getting just as wet either way) http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=googlesat&mt1=tah&lon=-122.67306&lat=45.51533&zoom=17 So a cycleway with width=<big number> is possible, and if you live in a cool-climate region dotted by hippie-infested college towns, it's fairly likely you have at least one absurdly wide cycleway.
