[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An scientific study shows that bike sharing in DC has actually reduced congestion: https://www.itskrs.its.dot.gov/2020-b01452 This is an interesting counterpoint to those who claim that bike lanes have the opposite effect.[/quote] Except the physical changes increase congestion, which is what they are designed to do, by over 20% so it's still a large net negative.[/quote] Where are you getting 20% from? They certainly aren't allocating 20% of road space to bike lanes.[/quote] That's an underestimate. Almost all of the bike lane projects involve taking away a general traffc lane. This study, which was a whopping 3%, is not only statistically insignificant but also has a disengenuous headline. That 3% reduction is not in comparison to the beforehand configuration but rather the new configuration. The new configuration is what increases congestion significantly.[/quote]
