That 2nd link, the track doesn't look terribly crowded for traffic, very much like a track & field for runners, but obviously the cycling has to be more dangerous. It's actually quite interesting, communities build these meccas to some type of health & fitness and they eventually wind up under or unused.
Many tracks including my own have rental track bikes so that you can try it out without having to initially invest in a track bike. My track also has regularly scheduled classes so new riders can learn proper and safe ways to ride and race on the track. Riding is actually less dangerous than riding on the road, since there are rules that when followed will prevent most accidents.
