Proper Use of Sharrows?

Is this the proper use of Sharrow marking?

The painted figure points to the entrance to the restricted part of the Burlington Bike Path, which is a narrow rail-with-trail, and in no was is intended for shared use by motorized vehicles.

Wikipedia on Sharrows: "This marking is used within travel lanes shared by bicyclists and other vehicles. The name "sharrow" was coined by Oliver Gajda, of the City and County of San Francisco Bicycle Program, as a combination of SHared lane and ARROW."
I reported this on SeeClickFix. We shall see what happens:
