I quite like the bicycle streets, for example in places where there isn't room for a proper segregated bike path, it still makes it clear that drivers are guests in the street (and explicitly calls this out on signs), which definitely makes me feel safer when cycling on such streets, versus regular roads.
- petre 5y agoThat doesn't quite for without speed bumps, not in Eastern Europe anyway. Interrupted speed bumps every 100 meters can be a solution for bikes, yet keep cars under 25 kph. Residential areas should effectively be bicycle streets.

I'm sure they've got a runbook documenting which traffic situations lend themselves to cycle streets (probably some combination of heavy flow of cycle traffic combined with nudges to car drivers to take a different road if possible), but the ones in my city all work great without speed bumps.
