Not according to official documents on road design from the state of Delaware, which mandate adherence to standards for planning for bike traffic and context sensitive intersection design, as seen in the MUTCD and AASHTO's guide to the development of bicycle facilities.

Really.

delaware road design guide chapter 10

Well placed sharrows on slower speed bike routes that have insufficient room for bikelanes, bikelanes on more major roads identified as significant for bicycle traffic is the current national standard of best practices of roadway design for bicycle traffic, and is echoed in Delaware's roadway design manual.
