Yup, happens in the UK. It is cheaper and less politically divisive to build a shared path rather than take on-road parking away to create segregated cycle infrastructure. One of the things I am trying to push into our local council is for them to use the cycling and walking audit tools that were developed as part of the Welsh Active Travel guidance http://gov.wales/consultations/transport/active-travel-design-guidance/?lang=en http://gov.wales/consultations/transport/active-travel-desig... They are available here should you want to use them ;) http://cyclebath.org.uk/resources/ http://cyclebath.org.uk/resources/ We've had a few schemes where 3-4 multiple designs were submitted and the final chosen design was poor for cycling and walking. Having a cycling and walking audit scores against each design would have given a stronger case for other designs. http://cyclebath.org.uk/2015/05/23/london-road-an-example-of-bad-banes-management/ http://cyclebath.org.uk/2015/05/23/london-road-an-example-of...
