Not an urban designer, but missing from this perspective: transit planning.
Lane markings could work if the whole area is designed for shared use: roads are made single-lane or one-way, speed limits lowered to safer levels (30km/h), roadside parking spots removed both for safety and visibility, buffer spaces around corners and intersections, raised crossings for cars... a lot of cycle paths in the Netherlands have no grade separation and while a little less comfortable, they are still pretty safe due to how the traffic is organized.
This doesn't cover grade separation etc but is a good look at some of those design principles: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2018/02/20/a-common-urban-intersection-in-the-netherlands/ https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2018/02/20/a-common-urban...
