I'm not seeing how any of the upcoming revised editions of US bicycle references will change the status quo. The AASHTO Bike Guide hasn't supported mandatory bike lane usage in decades, and the MUTCD isn't really worded to support it either. Work on the Rules of the Road chapter of the Uniform Vehicle Code has been slow as most of the people working on it have been otherwise occupied, and even it doesn't contain any mandatory bike lane language.
It's a revision to one of those. I was told to keep it on the DL, so I'll leave it at that.
Fully agree that all these manuals have been standing in the way in one way or another.
