The 800 kg gorilla of the separated cycleway philosophy is intersections. Apparently someone in the Netherlands looked up after 50 years and said, 'Whoa, there's a big ape in this room!' Of course, underpasses make more sense for cycleways (bicycles needing much less vertical clearance than trucks/lorries/double decker buses), but I suppose there's always a drainage problem in the low countries.

Roundabouts work generally pretty well - when traffic goes around in one direction. I see with this facility, riders turn both directions and there's negociated two-way traffic around the path. Very third world, critical mass.
