Should we be mapping paved shoulders for cyclists? (lemmy.ca)

I see that quite a few major roads in Ontario are getting paved shoulders, plenty wide enough for cyclists, despite not being marked as bike lanes/routes.

An example of this is HWY7/12 in Port Perry - all new shoulders.

There is a tag: cycleway=shoulder, which gives me reason to think that we should be doing this.

What say you guys?

Update: Bike Ottawa has some guidance on the matter. I'll be using the cycleway=soulder tag for roads that have SMOOTH and WIDE shoulders that would work well for cyclists.
