Barry, modern arterial intersection designs with emphasized crossover zones, pocket lanes for thru bicyclists create more visible (IE towards road center, away from road edge) bicyclist road behaviors as a matter of course.
additionally, sharrow placement on class III bikeways approaching intersections can also lead bicyclists to better road visibility as would bike boxes and bike specific signals to place cyclists in a visible road and traffic position crossing intersections.
America is now in the 21st century, Barry. Arterial roadway and intersection design that accommodates vehicular cycling, destination positioning AND provides better lateral road position from bicyclists are already commonplace, codified in the MUTCD and the AASHTO design guide.
time to move beyond the feud, dontchyathink?
