This seems like a good time to remind folks that in North America, there is no sane default for bicycle or foot on motorways, half the states allow both. Ive seen bicycle lanes on the freeway in BC and Texas. The other half have a myriad of rules about when and where, some have a total ban. And then there's Oklahoma and Arkansas where it depends on whether or not it's part of a bike route or hiking route, what the minimum speed limit is, and whether or not it's a toll road... and then there's Oregon and Washington, where not allowing either is limited enough that bike maps can spell out the prohibitions in a short paragraph and bicycling on the freeway is substantially safer than using a surface street with bicycle lanes. I make a habit out of explicitly tagging foot and bicycle access on motorways I'm familiar with.
