It’s really dangerous to ride a bike on the roads in my 3rd world city even walking is dangerous due to bike lanes basically being ignored, motorcycles weaving around traffic, and poor nighttime lighting.
I just thought that dedicated bike/walking only roads connecting the major parts of my city would be a big boost for safety and I think it would greatly reduce the amount of people using cars.
Has this been tried somewhere else? Was it successful?
London has quite a few dedicated routes just for bikes. The UK in general has also got places where the bike lane is segregated from the cars by a kerb and painted bike lanes on roads are such a common sight you don’t even notice them. Near where I live they just closed a major road for 6 months so they could build a bridge over it for bikes.
