[SDCBC] Fwd: FW: Leucadia Coast Highway 101 Streetscape

[Serge Issakov]

You're right, Mike, I forgot about that common misinterpretation of the
meaning of the words-only "share the road" sign.

I wish the MUTCD would approve some kind of "cyclists use full lane" sign
for these situations.  Most cities only use signs approved by the MUTCD.
