That would be ideal.
A driver awareness campaign, that outlines bike routes, and outlines what to expect from cyclists that use them. Eg: if you are on a marked cycling route, be prepared for cyclists to come up your right side at stop lights. Be prepared to have to pass them 10 times on the same road. If you don't like it, use a different road. If you did this on a dual lane road (like Elbow) my guess is that in time, the right hand lane would be taken over by cyclists.
Same thing for non bike routes. If you choose to cycle on them, be prepared for guys like justanotherguy blocking you out.
