worthless rhetoric, 'high roller'.
the sharrows are placed adjacent to the separated sidepath to emphasize riders right to the road along that cooridor.
to combat motorists perceived 'off the road' sidepath notions, by sidepaths next to roads bicyclists are not prohibited from, emphasize bike traffic on the adjacent road.
...
same could be applied to ANY urban 'cycletrack'. i believe there is more of this dual 'sharrow plus sidepath' roadway architecture around Seattle.
Where in the lane do you recommend locating the sharrow in a 14' wide outside lane? Where in a 12' lane? We have a number of sidewalk MUPs showing up alongside urban and suburban arterials in NC with 14' and 12' lanes, posted 45mph. Some of these sidewalk mups are signed for bicycle use.
