There is a sign for that too. "Cyclist May Use Full Lane".
We have them on the Natchez Trace, which is a Federal Park Service jurisdiction. And it's been appearing on many of the roads and highways I drive on. Only a few on the roads in areas where I cycle.... go figure.
It's thought to get the message over a little better than "Share the Road"
