Coming back to how bike lanes actually reduce traffic delays and why 3.00m wide lanes are safer than wider ones at the city, today we have a video to help understanding the concept as well as the Road Diet Informational Guide published by USA Federal Highway Administration (mirror)
As cities across the US build bike lanes, their decisions are often seen as a move to give space to bikes at the expense of cars. But data tells us this isn't always true: In New York City, for instance, bike lanes have actually shortened cars' travel times on several streets, while simultaneously encouraging people to bike and making it safer.
