Sure, and that was a pretty motorist-oriented convention, unsurprising
since its inception was in 1968.  There's plenty of Vienna Convention
countries that have bicycle lanes now and even marked out lanes on ways
only open to bicycles, an increasing number of which have multiple bike
lanes on the same roadway in the same direction.  So I'm pretty sure the
idea has evolved a bit in the intervening half century.
