The OP specifically refers to roads that are "

How accepting drivers are of bicyclists on these roads is a separate issue, and, specifically, is not a road
design issue. It's a cultural/understanding issue.
Engineering/design problems need to be addressed with engineering/design solutions.
Cultural/understanding problems need to be addressed through behavior that changes that understanding, and education. Not with engineering/design "solutions" that actually exacerbate the underlying cultural/understanding problems.
