bothered at all, what use is painting a bike symbol in a main traffic<br>

they see a symbol painted in the road occasionally?<br>

>>> The one thing paint-separated lanes have in favour of them is that they fail more gracefully. When a hard-separated lane is blocked (parking despite a kerb/debris/builders' deliveries etc.) stopping and rejoining the road can be very tricky. There are orca-separated lanes in Bath I don't take for that reason.<br>

As for Hampshire, I've ridden there a few times and the contrast between roads that don't really go anywhere (not a care in the world) and roads that connect towns (it's not paranoia if they're out to get you) is the worst I've seen. The dumb infrastructure doesn't help anyone.<br>

Maybe something like cycleway:segregation=no/paint/wand/orca/kerb/block). Cycle lanes and cycle paths in West Berkshire have a mixture of segregations. Basingstoke has no mandatory cycle lanes and probably never will, but has a couple of kerb-separated cycle tracks. Wokingham Borough has mandatory cycle lanes using the protective powers of paint. Once there's a tag, routers could then make a distinction between the levels of protection.<br>
