I almost think that shoulders that are as wide as a travel lane are possibly worse for cyclist safety. Probably 2/3rds is a good width.
We have BUS specific lanes in Toronto and GTA and people just feel free to use them when its convenient. Unfortunately it's just paint on the floor and when you ignore it, all tarmac looks the same. Parking lots are getting obscene now with diagonally driving across and pulling through spots so the car faces out...and there is no policing those areas. oh well. *rant over
