Cars vs Cars & Pedestrians vs Cars, Bicycles, and Pedestrians
I think Tim did a great job on this and highlighting the different approach of The Netherlands and others. What he left out is how many roads and streets are car only, not even including adequate or any space for humans to walk.
Bicycle Perth: Australia, start counting to three
Bicycles are vastly different than motor vehicles and fairly different from pedestrians. To the best of my knowledge there is nowhere that has successfully mixed the three modes.

I doubt it humanly possible to mix pedestrian, bicycles and automobiles better than they do in the Netherlands.

At human scale speeds we can all share the roads.

Trafalgar Square, some years ago. This stretch has since been pedestrianised, making a more friendly space for guys like this
to jam. So that's one answer: get rid of roads. Can't see it catching on.
