No, that's the definition for 'roadway.' 'Highway' includes the shoulder. Here are the definitions in Kentucky:
http://www.lrc.ky.gov/statutes/statute.aspx?id=6291
(3) "Highway" means any public road, street, avenue, alley or boulevard, bridge,
viaduct, or trestle and the approaches to them and includes private residential
roads and parking lots covered by an agreement under KRS 61.362, off-street
parking facilities offered for public use, whether publicly or privately owned,
except for-hire parking facilities listed in KRS 189.700.
...
(10) "Roadway" means that portion of a highway improved, designed, or ordinarily
used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the berm or shoulder. If a highway
includes two (2) or more separate roadways, the term "roadway" as used
herein shall refer to any roadway separately but not to all such roadways collectively
I cannot find this wording anywhere in the Ky law. Many other states do provide this, and I expected to find it in KY as well, but couldn't find it in the codes. Debris or unsafe conditions, yes, but nothing about sharing the lane.
Not being able to travel side by side safely would be an unsafe condition, IMO.
