Responding specifically to “those bikes zipping past me are just as scary to me as cars are to cyclists”
I do agree that if there’s a safe bike lane, cyclists should be using it, not the sidewalk. I wouldn’t classify all bike lanes as ‘safe’ tho
I also dislike being passed by cyclists on the sidewalk but, it’s not really equivalent to cars.
Car hitting a cyclist is far more likely to have severe injuries/death than a bike hitting a person.
People like that are gonna cause accidents anyways.
Studies have shown that accidents are more likely to be severe/fatal on wide, straight roads.
I agree, but I'm pointing out that they do indeed help if implemented correctly
Traffic Cameras can and do reduce speeding if implemented properly
Narrowing roads and making them less straight also lowers speeding
Where are you getting this 5% number?
Unpopular opinion, I agree.

I wish Municipal governments moved that fast 😅
