      can never quite be as enthusiastic about bike advocacy as I would like because in the USA it's mainly about "what if we all had personal vehicles and wide roads...but like, smaller"pic.twitter.com/dp8E3MDIN4

      tiny highways for engine-less vehicles altho now with the rise of electric-assist bikes, even the health benefits of biking are on the way out

      I've said before--the whole point of promoting walking and biking, in my mind, had been that those modes *do not require their own dedicated infrastructure* as bike paths turn more and more into highways-in-miniature, this appeal disappears

      They do if you have cars all over the place.

      Think you mean: if the roads are overengineered, encouraging cars to drive recklessly Presence of cars alone is no obstacle to biking! Get the road right, and you can mix modes on it w/o issuepic.twitter.com/kFDrjSMlKH

      Sure. I have no problem with shared streets but given our standard street designs are suited for 40 MPH traffic roads become human-free zones.

      Right! I didn't expect you would have a problem with shared streets or anything--my problem with bike lanes is they are generally "giving in" to the 40mph traffic design, instead of fighting it

      We need to get serious about calming traffic, narrowing streets, and making shared traffic possible--rigid segregation by mode, with 5 feet here for peds, 5 here for bikes, 10 here for cars, 10 here for buses, repeat on the other side, only makes that goal harder to achieve

          those two are not exclusively different means of achieving the same goal. in fact, context-sensitive designs are often going to result in different street designs for different contexts.

          Yes, mode segregation is pretty much necessary for major arterials (2+ car lanes in each direction as a rough definition), but the bulk of roads (including the leading pic in thread) don't fit that description

          Once you hit a design speed above 25 mph and/or volumes of greater than 1,000 daily vehicles, people prefer separation like the original photo for sustainable safety efforts.

          1,000 daily vehicles is slightly over 1 car per minute for just 12 hours, or less than 1 per minute for 24 that is not a busy road! as for design speed, my whole point is we design way too many streets for >25mph that absolutely don't need it
