Protected bike lanes help eliminate perceived risk and fear of collisions; reduce the risk of crashing into car doors; and add a level of predictability making streets safer for everyone.
Pedestrians are one of the most at risk groups on UK roads, according to the Department for Transport, with one fatality and 15 serious injuries every day.
Deadly curve-caused car accidents are often the result of speeding or inattentive driving. Driving at high speeds and not realizing the severity of a turn can cause drivers to lose control of their cars, leave the road and slam into a barrier or tree. A drunk driver is also at risk when approaching a deadly curve.
