Some absolutely amazing stuff going on in Serbia it seems. I understand that the structuring of things there is a bit different from the U.S., but certainly there’s some things we can carry over?
"What has been happening in Serbia... is a historic development worth paying attention to, given that it comes against the backdrop of Europe-wide backsliding on democracy and a crisis of the political establishment."

The protests in Serbia are historic, the world shouldn’t ignore them
Amid democratic backsliding across Europe, Serbian students have shown the way to reimagining democracy and governance.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA
Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

New study from IIHS shows that car bloat is dangerous even at low speeds:
If hit by a sedan going 27 mph, a pedestrian has a 60% chance of a moderate+ injury and 30% chance of a serious one.
If it's a pickup going 27 mph, those odds rise to 83% and 63%, respectively.

Vehicle height compounds dangers of speed for pedestrians
New pedestrian injury risk curves calculated by IIHS show that vehicles with taller front ends begin to cause serious injuries at lower speeds.

This is exactly how a bike lane network should be conceptualized…in the same design language and typology of that city’s public transportation network and with connectivity to subways, busses, LRT etc.
Once again, Paris is leading the way.

THIS IS AMAZING!
This is the planned bike path network for the #Paris region for 2025.
It will involve 450 kms of lanes. Not just #Paris intra-muros (within the Périphérique) but Grand Paris—a true regional network, incorporating long-neglected banlieues (suburbs).
