This additional safety is questionable. I know a lot of experienced bicycle riders here in Germany who argue that by taking bicycles off of the road, drivers lose their attention. The critical point is at crossroads, and it seems that cyclists are safer there if they are sharing a lane with cars, because they will be seen more easily.
BY the way, are all those guys in the film driving on the wrong side of the road?
Also, in the city the most dangerous place is intersections. Are the segregated bike lanes helping at the intersections? How? Do they make it harder for the cyclist to turn into a crossing street, across traffic? As someone said up-post, the devil is in the details.
