What is amazing is most drivers are not using it as a turning or passing lane.
To me that sounds more like a bike lane than actual sharrows. There was a reply in the blog post I mentioned earlier...

We certainly can have both concepts or ‘tools’ to facilitate bicycling. Both Bike Lanes and Shared Lane Markings or ‘Sharrows’ are tools for facilitating on-road cycling. In situations where one is riding along parked cars, Sharrows are likely a better tool as they don’t force cyclists to ride in the door zone.
Have a look at this FAQ on Sharrows via Bike Pittsburgh.
BTW, the Sharrows in Cleveland are located on Franklin, between W. 25th and W. 65th. Their implementation is a result of the aforementioned collaboration, which also involved the block clubs along this route. As you may well be aware, Franklin is a route on the City of Cleveland’s BikeWay Masterplan."
