If only that were true.
Houston rebuilt a major arterial with 15’ outside lanes, 35 mph, and then painted sharrrows centered more than 5’ from the edge. If you ride over center you aren’t FRAP per Texas law. It isn’t pretty.
A lot of infrastructure gets a bad reputation because it is used the wrong situation. We need a big toolkit and we need to then use the best tool for the job. Since our officials and designers are inexperienced, we need to work with them.
It’s going to take time and effort.
