Yeah, I was definitely thinking of typical American-style neighborhood street design. My family is Scottish, and I visit every few years, so I'm familiar with hour smaller towns are often laid out (similar to what your link depicts). I'm guessing streets like the one you share are narrow enough that cars don't usually try going 50mph? And as noted, there is a fair bit of thought given - bollards at the intersection and school, etc. Here's the street I was talking about... https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9397759,-77.353558,3a,75y,120.62h,79.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJuRQzEy5uN-F_OnRn9Nm7Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9397759,-77.353558,3a,75y,12... Houses don't directly front this road, but there are intersections with housing clusters every 1/4 mile or so, with cars and pedestrians crossing at uncontrolled intersections. Additionally, the bike lanes end before the school complex, then start again, then end before the shopping strip. Presumably to leave space for more turning lanes. But, really kills the purpose of the bike lanes since they don't go to the two places you'd want to visit! And another... https://www.google.com/maps/@38.928914,-77.3522244,3a,75y,153.41h,93.28t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgvMgvkqVmwA4IHycCwYmdg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu https://www.google.com/maps/@38.928914,-77.3522244,3a,75y,15... Sidewalk on one side, so anybody living on the south has to cross a wide road. Unmarked parking on both sides. Bike lanes come and go (usually turning in "sharrows"). If I were king, I'd remove the "free" curb-side parking and put in proper protected bike lanes.
