From a policmans point of veiw, a situation is being created

The prudent course of action for the government, then, is to ticket those angry drivers who act in a dangerously unlawful manner, or to improve the roadway to improve convenience for motorists, not to require cyclists to either operate in a more hazardous manner or not travel the road at all.

That you don't feel comfortable using busy roads with narrow lanes is irrelevant to the importance of protecting travel rights of those cyclists who use such roads for their transportation.
