As others have said, it seems to boil down to the Three E's:
Engineering - design & build bike facilities, including everything from WOL's and bike-capable sensors to MUP's.
Education - not only riders, but motor vehicle operators & law enforcement, including judges.
Enforcement - fair & level enforcement of all laws for all vehicles.
Sounds like a basic culture shift would be required for the USA. And I'm trying to change my little part of it, by riding as a legal vehicle on the roads, educating riders, drivers & cops, and working as a citizen member of the local Metro Planing Organization.
The sheep have let a wolf into their fold, but have not realized it yet.
