i disagree. There are good and bad separate bike lanes.
In this one, cyclists will be overlooked a lot when crossing the lane. They are hidden behind parked cars.
edit: apologies in advance. I am glad you built this one, which is already a good step in the right direction.
This is literally how 99 percent of the separate bike lanes in NL are built. Check Not Just Bikes on Nebula.
I think the idea is that the cars shield cyclists from potential accidents on the road.
Though IMO anyone on a bike in areas where they must interact with cars should anticipate right turners going through their lane without even considering if there's a cyclist about to enter that space. Right of way only matters when looking back at an incident to determine if anyone should be fined or arrested.
I do the same shit while driving, just assume that anyone around me might actually be completely incompetent and could try changing into my lane at any moment.
