@gallegre yes agreed, but there are less "permanent" but equivalent (or better) ways of implementing protected bike infrastructure than done broadly in Copenhagen. I'm writing a paper on this, give me at least 6 more months 😘
@mszll This is the kind of thing we are getting as 'best practice' in new development areas. Two way bike lanes in less than the width of one car lane. In this case there is not even a space constraint, the provision of an extra wide footpath and wide plantings has been thought about, but the fact cyclists might not want to ride single file all the time has not.
@mszll Here is a more typical retrofit project with the standard type of barriers.
@jroper Exactly, it's an underestimated issue, also because it is such a long-term issue. This issue is hitting Copenhagen everywhere now - bike lanes are too narrow in many places and it is hard to extend them. How are the barriers in Sydney implemented? How do they look like? (I am trying to collect international examples in the spectrum of permanent to flexible solutions)
