@MDE-Sharrows MAY provide a safer street, but the PERCEIVED safety of bicyclists isn't increased. That's an important barrier of entry to many that would like to ride, but don't. Bike lanes and cycletracks increase actual and perceived safety.
That said, I think they're a great addition for filling in on blocks where a cycletrack or bike lane isn't feasible due to road geometry but they don't make a difference if real speeds of motor vehicles aren't slowed with medians, bump-outs, chicanes, speed bumps, etc.
