In general, the white R4-11 signs are used when there are multiple lanes for motor traffic or when there is enough room in a lane for a car to give three-foot clearance while passing a bike riding toward the right side of the roadway. The yellow W16-1(3) signs are reserved for cases where providing that three-foot clearance would force motor traffic into opposing lanes, or when special circumstances dictate the need for the yellow signs (loss of shoulder, for example). Those are the general guidelines that SHA is using for the signs - I have to imagine that they'll change over time, just as many of the Administration's guidelines change year after year.
