Understood.
When cyclists are on the roadway integrated with same-direction traffic, the main threat to cyclists - cross traffic at intersections (including driveways, alleys, etc.) - is less likely to collide with them than if they are traveling in a segregated flow. This is why integrated cycling - simply sticking cyclists on the road - is safer than segregated cycling on bikeways
that require cyclists and motorists to cross paths in the same plane anyway.
We have established that I believe integrated cycling is safer and that you believe that partial segregation is safer. I have explained why I believe what I believe. Could you explain why you believe partial segregation is safer? Or why you dismiss my explanation for why integrated cycling is safer?
