Many people misunderstand the bike lane removal would reducing traffic congestion, which is quite contradictory.
It means both bicycles and Motor vehicles have to share the same lane. A bicycle will run in front of a car which will impact on the speed of the car. They significantly need to slow down, otherwise, they would run over cyclist.
You won't be able drive a car with the speed you want or you may be charged with murder.
Do you really want to share the lane with cyclists?
Let's keep bike lanes to avoid traffic congestion and crashes.
According to US Department of Transportation, bike lanes reduce the significant amount of crashes.
Converting traditional or flush buffered bicycle lanes to a separated bicycle lane with flexible delineator posts can reduce crashes up to 53% for bicycle/vehicle crashes.
Bicycle Lane Additions can reduce crashes up to 49% for total crashes on urban 4-lane undivided collectors and local roads.
30% for total crashes on urban 2-lane undivided collectors and local roads.
