This is why we need to segregate cars off the road away from bikes, and then keep shrinking the car lanes by just a few cm each year, until some cars just can’t fit, and gaslight the car users that cars must just be getting bigger, until eventually even London black cabs and old mini coopers couldn’t fit through, while bicycle lanes keep getting more and more lanes, and the fence between the two starts having barbed wire and more and more CCTV all facing the car users, as the cameras whirr in on faces of the users aggressively, disrupting the silence of sitting in traffic, eventually we install displays inward to the car lanes that show ads, but conspicuously only of bikes, skates and longboards…
So, the opposite of what’s been happening with embiggening cars and unchanging roads in many places. Often designed so that cars could park on either side and still use the road two-way, they’re now effectively one-way due to wider cars, but dickheads think they can fit, and bad things happen. I like it, turnaround is fair play. Good luck making it happen.
