Here in Copenhagen we have cycle superhighways
https://supercykelstier.dk/

This is the network
https://supercykelstier.dk/kort-over-supercykelstier/

They connect big residential areas with the city center and major work places.

The routes are marked with the logo (a white C on an orange background) on both signs 
and on the asphalt (every 200 m).

There are green waves for traffic signals (some based on a 20 km/h average speed, 
some adaptive to allow higher speeds, adapt to wind conditions, etc)
A few places even have signals on the way so cyclist know if they to speed up to make 
the signal.

There are special footrests for cyclists. They also have a handle so cyclists can 
stop without clicking their shoes out of the pedals.

A typical route is C93, the Allerød route.
29 km, 70000 cycle km per day. It connects the suburb of Allerød, workplaces such as 
Ørsted, etc. with the Copenhagen city center.
   A 2018 survey showed that 77 percent used the route for commuting to work,  15 
percent for commuting to school (numbers cannot be added as there could be some overlap)

The average speed is 19.6 km/h including stops and traffic signals.

So these are not sightseeing routes. I live close to the center. So I might use e.g. 
the Allerød route to get to the beautiful forests there. But then I would still be 
using it mainly for transportation.
