You are replacing an access tag "bicycle=yes/no/designated/etc" by a physical descriptor tag "cycleway=lane/track/etc". A sharrow is nothing else than a normal lane for cars with a bicycle painted on it. Almost all car lanes are shared with bicycles, it makes no sens to create a cycleway=shared or shared_lane if it is not separated from the normal car traffic : use the access tags for that please. Don't mix-up things that are enough complicated. Pieren
