For signage alone, i much prefer “Cyclists may use full lane”.

it’s true, it’s much more explicit, and more equanimous.

That sign sucks. It should say “cyclists will use full lane”

it beats “share the road!”. As if the cars are deigning to do us a favor.

It still causes confusion in areas where there is no such sign though. Can cyclists use the full lane where there is no such sign? They can, but it's not necessarily obvious.

the actually preferable solutions involve one lane paved a different color, one lane physically separated in some obvious way, etc.

and, in urban areas, a culturally dominant expectation of what ought to happen on roads.

but if all you get are signs: those are the signs to get.

I want a sign that says "Cyclists can use full lane, on all roads"

I have had to explain that it is not illegal for a bike to ride on a road which didn't have "share the road" signs.

there do exist limited access roads, but it should be super obvious that bicycles and interstates aren’t friends.
