And millions of drivers would disagree. The study is clear. If a driver doesn't fear hitting something they mostly disregard painted lanes. Without protection, bikers fear the lane with good reason.

I didnt say they wouldn't. But its still infrastructure if they widened the roads for it.

But since automobiles use it and bicyclist don't, the point is that makes it more car infrastructure not bicycle infrastructure
