Just like anything else, the rider can make it safe or dangerous. I believe it's an established fact that more is gained by prudent lane sharing by avoiding rear-end collisions than lost by accidents caused by the sharing. In CA it's legal and a godsend. As a rider, you really need to be on your toes and anticipating potential lane changes to avoid problems.
