Green: safe, bike path.

Orange: medium, adjacent bike lane.

Blue: least safe, share lane.

I can think of a change that would improve this color scheme.

Worse, "adjacent bike lane" can in practice mean anything from "safe-to-use lane" to "extra-wide parking lane with those weird pictures". From my experience, shared lanes run an even wider gamut from "shared with 0 cars a minute" to "shared with over 9000 cars a minute" ;)
