I don't think, building bike lanes in dense cities is hard. A bit of Jersey wall, some signs, single lane traffic for cars. You save a lot of pothole repairs soon!

and in this places, roads are either near empty (so overtaking is safe on a double-lane, otherwise, chances are high, you have a crossing every 100m and so can not drive more than 30km/h either), or there are endless traffic jams. Both
