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?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_highway We got some of these where I live (Nope, not the Netherlands). It is quite comfortable as there are signs leading you to the fast lanes and they connect the whole city. It is bikes only and where the lane crosses roads, you have the right of way
