I would love to see all “Share the Road” signs replaced with “Bicycles May Use Full Lane” [1] signs. This is the law in California but many motorists are unaware, or don’t care.

This makes it seem like it would be some kind of exception. Bikes can ALWAYS use the full lane!

Perhaps put it on billboards so that it's clear that it applies to all roads, not just that one road.

I'd also suggest putting it on driving tests, but I've never taken a state driving test where they go through and make sure you understand which questions you got wrong.

I agree.

Though my dad thinks you only have to slow for pedestrians where there is a posted sign reminding you of that fact. So you can't win.

("Can't win" doesn't mean you shouldn't try.)

Agree, my personal experience: walking from Walmart parking lot to walmart doors, crossing the hatched pattern section of asphalt exactly in front of entrance, half of the drivers do not stop even after looking at me. Sunny day, perfect visibility. Might be the reason that its a majority white republican county with pickup trucks.
