Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

SBC contributor Steven Lucy's letter to Sun-Times about Ald. Hopkins ultimately voting against new bike lane enforcement law: "Hopkins should worry less about getting an 'angry phone call from Budweiser' and more about angry calls from bereaved parents."
