Bicycles shouldn't be lumped in with pedestrians, in the same way bicycles shouldn't be lumped in with buses. MUPs are a cack-handed solution that fixes nothing, and often creates more problems.
It's almost as if city planners try for the worst or dumbest solution, and implement that.
Pedestrians and bicycles should be completely segregated and given priority over cars.
Unfortunately, the opposite is what happens, as cars are given priority over everything else, and everyone suffers because of it.
