When cars and cyclists use the same roads, there are often problems. Why is this the case? What are the solutions?

It is often suggested that public roads for both cars and bicyclists are a thorny issue for the society. Personally, I believe that cyclists should have their own bike paths to have a possibility to move safely. The main reason why the majority of conflicts on roads happen is that vehicles are dangerous for cyclists and because of it motorists should decrease their speed to give cyclists a trail. That practice usually leads to

traffic

jams and increases the tension to each other.

For example

, in China on shared

road

congestion is 80% more common than on roads only for cars.

Moreover

, because most cyclists ignore

traffic

violations, accidents happen more often.

For instance

, only in Moscow

last

year there were 11% of fatal accidents among bicyclists which were caused by violation of

traffic

rules. There are several solutions how to break

this

vicious circle of conflicts on roads and to prevent

further

accidents.

First

of all, the government should construct new bicycle lanes to create new relationships between

people on cars and

bicycles. In

this

case,

traffic

will run parallel and safely for all

participants. A good example of

this

would be some European cities like Amsterdam where there

are

a large percentage of people travelling by bicycle.

Additionally

, authorities should eliminate the lack of

road

signs to make

the rules

clearer for those parts of roads where motorists and bicyclists cross. In conclusion, cars and bikes can avoid most conflicts on roads if solutions presented above will be implemented. In my humble opinion, governments should improve the infrastructure for safer

traffic

and

road

users follow the

traffic

rules.
