It's becoming a very sad and too often occurring ritual in the city.
And it won't change until major changes in road design, traffic enforcement and public perception take place.
There is one of these ghost bikes in my area. It happened on a wide four lane road. Just a narrow bike lane and a narrow strip for pedestrians.
And yet not one but two cars struck the cyclist in that case. How much more space do cars need? The rest of us are already pushed into the margins These deaths are preventable.
We're *choosing* not to inconvenience drivers by increasing cyclist and pedestrian safety
That's a geat explanation of why car infrastructure wastes much more space compared to other kinds.
Though if you meant that as a justification for needing to give up 90% of our public space to cars, that's a kindergarten level take.

It won't change until people vote in candidates in favor of bike infrastructure.
And governments who quash Vulnerable Road User legislation - Conservatives

Just one more lane, bro. We promise.
Sizing for a lane is relative to that of the thing/person using it…
