I reckon this is common. ASLs weren't around when I did my test, when they started appearing I had to look up the rules. They're clearly everywhere now and it's the responsibility of drivers to learn new rules as they're introduced, but I bet plenty of people, especially rural and/or occasional drivers aren't sure what they mean.
I had a cheery discussion with a driver who used the solid-white-lined bike lane to undertake a right turning car the other day. He genuinely thought it was a legal move and was accepting and understanding when it was explained that it isn't.
