Pro tip: the thing that cooled me on the "more lanes equals safer" claim
I always backed the paint-and-post bike lanes in my town until I read the city's own 2022 crash report showing injury crashes went up 18% on the buffered stretch of 5th Street in the first year, so now I'm the annoying guy at meetings asking for hard numbers before we celebrate, and I'm curious whether other folks have checked their own city's crash data instead of just trusting the bike lane press release?
