Adding more lanes does not reduce traffic. Induced demand means those lanes fill up with more cars and more cars means more traffic

Bike lanes are to protect the people who use their bikes for transportation. If you remove those bike lanes, then as the law allows them, they are entitled to their own space on the road, travelling much slower than the speed limit, which sounds to me like it will slow car traffic down as well.

Separating bicycle and car traffic firstly makes sure less bicycle riders are injured and killed by cars and also prevents bicycles from slowing down car traffic.

Bicycles and bike lanes are not the enemy
