About the only thing I can tell is width when you have past that one sign and stencil.
However width alone doesn’t mean it is a bike lane. I would like to see bike lanes painted with a blue and white strip.
Personally I think they have shoulders so they don’t have to repair that portion of the road. Here in the valley I see sub-standard bike lanes, parking allowed, door zone lanes, and really bad designs IE chokers. Not to mention bicycle lanes that last only a mile. As you can see most of these make a route.
Of course it changes literally right under your feet. I ride a road bike not a comfort bike with shocks. I want my lane as smooth as they give the travel lane. This is just a sample of the crazy network.
