This in the face of national Government guidance in favour of physical segregation from cars. (Plans at &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk&amp;#x2F;quickway-cycle-route-oxford-2021&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk&amp;#x2F;quickway-cycle-route-oxf...&lt;/a&gt;: the promise of &amp;quot;segregation where possible&amp;quot; in reality means about 5% of the network.)&lt;p&gt;It is really frustrating how highway engineers, as a profession, are unwilling to consistently learn lessons from the Netherlands in designing cycle infrastructure. Many cities seem to delight in half-assing their own solutions. So congratulations to Milan, who look like they may have got it right.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Milan confirms new cycling network linking 80% of the city to bike paths</title><url>https://road.cc/content/news/milan-confirms-new-bike-network-289375</url></story>
