I don't know whether the design of American cities is efficient. They might be. and I do believe in roads for all users. That's why a bike lane is called a bike lane and not a bike road. Bike paths and 'bike superhighways' exist in my country but they're unimportant. But having been in the us only once it was very obvious the us has a problem with safety for drivers. There were cars at the side of the highway (Orlando to Tampa) everywhere, presumably from accidents. Of course traffic wasn't moving. I wasn't driving on holiday and I was glad about it. It's possibly to do with the fact that Americans all need to drive, ensuring lax standards for driver tests. Maybe if you guys would embrace bike lanes you could also embrace real driver certification. Just dump people who can't drive on second tier transportation like bikes, ebikes, escooters and trains and ensure everyone else gets proper training.
