It needs to be signposted and lane-marked as such, but motorists generally don't think to check for that.
We do need clearer and more thorough signposting of shared pathways; I don't think this one is marked as such.
When discussing future bike lanes in the redesign of Dundas Road nearby with a regional planner, he actually said that the bike icons painted onto the road are “too expensive” and they likely won’t do them for this specific project. Meanwhile, the whole lane is painted red in the Netherlands!
I believe in the Netherlands they don't paint it red, they use red asphalt. Better durability.
