This would only apply in NSW/VIC. In other jurisdictions putting up 
signs has become pointless because you can ride anywhere. In Canberra 
almost none of the shared path system has explicit signage. I use 
cycleway to tag "primary" routes and footway for "secondary" routes.

So this would be a cycleway:

and this is a footway:
