In Oregon I not only have a
legal right to a full sharrowed lane but a full legal right to the entire lane if I am moving at "the normal speed of traffic". On 95% of my commute you will find me
in the vehicle lane on the left side.
I have absolutely no problem with "holding motorists back" when I am exercising my legal right of way at normal traffic speeds.
In nearly any circumstance, a cyclist is not at the top of the right of way food chain anyway.
I always ride like I am at the top of the food chain.
It doesn't appear they devoted a bike lane there, so sorry to say,
Completely irrelevant. Google "shared roadway marking MUTCD".
