That's great, but sadly the same does not hold for my country, as unprotected narrow (1m wide) 'cycle paths' are 'separated' from the cars and trucks flying past at 70-90km/h (official speed limit, in practice 80-110km/h) by a 15cm wide stripe of paint on the asphalt. This has been the norm for decades.
