    This is literally how 99 percent of the separate bike lanes in NL are built. Check Not Just Bikes on Nebula.

      Not correct. And misleading. I know not just bikes well. Infrastructure is way more than one bike lane. It is also about how traffic crosses a bike lane. The crossing is slowed down by speedbumps (?) or the bike path is elevated by a curb, etc. and a wide area of visibility is provided, so they are visible before crossing. And most importantly, the car drivers are taught about it. What i mean is, that like in this foto, might work well in the Netherlands, but not so much in other countries.

        It is part of a much larger plan. But in the Netherlands it also started small, and took all the way until the 1990s when it started to scale.

          exactly. And if they scale, correct, adapt, then this is a good step. But this hidden bike lane alone is not ‘what good bike lane design looks like’
