IIRC there were some bike lanes like this in Berlin the one time I visited. I've never seen them anywhere else. I think the best way to make bikes safe from cars is to give them their own separate infrastructure. What I worry about is that the infrastructure will be taken from that available to pedestrians. Where I live (suburbs near Boston) there are already too many roads without sidewalks. I've already gotten into more arguments than I can count with cyclists who believe an explicitly multi-use path near where I live either should be or already is bike-only. Maybe if "share the road" cyclists were also more willing to "share the path" I'd consider them allies instead of hypocritical rivals.
