Yep. Regardless of whether it has signage. Look at this example:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=caroline+springs&sll=-37.770588,144.754894&sspn=0.003286,0.007725&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Caroline+Springs+VIC,+Australia&ll=-37.745136,144.731856&spn=0.001644,0.003862&t=k&z=19

These are bike paths.I have no idea what the signage is. It doesn't
matter. It's smooth, it has no kerbs, and it has gentle curves at that
three-way intersection. Clearly it was designed with cycling in mind.
