I don't know what you need for warning signs, but all over the USA states and localities are passing "must use" laws where there are cycle paths. This is a new and growing trend, but I guess some people won't see it until all state have must use laws, and then decide that shared use of roads just isn't safe.

If the rational for separate cycle infrastructure is safety, then by logical extension it makes sense to get bikes off the roads altogether --- for the cyclists own good.

I'm not categorically opposed to cycle infrastructure, but we need to be clear when and why it should be built, lest we fall into a trap of our own making.
