in Rome there is a cycleway that crosses 2 highly frequented slip
ramps and then continues on the sidewalk - really ;-) Sometimes it is
safer to use the street than the cycleway (though this might be
forbidden in the case of a present cycleway in some jurisdictions).

because they were just building it):
