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?
My home town built a bicycle-only bridge with a road surface that’s heated to slightly above freezing in winter.
It’s the shortest connection between 2 major districts:
There’s also a bicycle tunnel under the old town:
There’s a truck on the bicycle bridge?
Yeah, as soon as the bridge was finished, a truck tried to drive over it to take a shortcut.
They had to fix the bridge, fined the driver, and I believe built a barrier.
