Hi

OK, can I get some clarification here please?

A sharrow does not describe what type of cycleway it is, or whereabouts 
it is, but purely some painted lines on the road in the form a chevron 
arrows as a sign.

Is this correct?

If so, I personally wouldn't bother, but if you feel the need to, please 
don't use it to try & fudge a description of a cycleway which already 
has far to convoluted tagging system.

Cheers
