Which, as I pointed out, could be addressed with more effective barriers between motor vehicle and bicycle lanes.
Unfortunately it isn't as simple as that. Statistically most serious accidents involving cyclists happen at junctions or other localised hazards. For obvious reasons complete physical separation of car and cycle lanes usually isn't possible in those places.
