> The point of these articles is to point out that creating the infrastructure properly eases most of the tension. I'm not sure it's mainly an infrastructure problem. In my experience, US style infrastructure tends to amplify conflicts at intersections. The right hooks you mention become a lot more common, sometimes to the point where I refuse to use a particular facility solely because of this. But, it does make many newbie cyclists feel safer, which is important. Ultimately I think we need a combination of the intersection protection measures mentioned in the article and also driver education to solve this problem.
