Speed segregation is automatically built into the vehicular rules of the road via the speed positioning principle (slower traffic keeps right).
So are "bike lanes" and "slow truck lanes" "artificial" speed segregation?
And "slower traffic keeps to the right" rules are natural speed segregation?

It was apparent to me that when he included the "without some sort of speed segregation" qualifier he was referring to legislated speed segregation and/or enforced speed segregation, as we allegedly have here in the US.

I'm familiar with the "natural" speed segregation that occurs in parts of Asia so his post made sense to me.
If so, then what is Peter talking about? Sounds like he thinks "'natural' speed segregation" is something different from the "legislated speed segregation and/or enforced speed segregation, as we allegedly have here in the US.", which are the "slower traffic keeps to the right" rules.
