First we all walked in the same road until someone invented pavements to separate foot and other forms of transport. Fewer accidents between pedestrians and road traffic ensued.

Except for those, on both sides, who ignored the role of the pavement. Anyone driving or riding on the pavement could be prosecuted, but cyclists seemed immune.

Then someone invented cycle lanes to separate the flow further. Fewer accidents ensued.

Except for those, on all 3 sides, who ignored the role of the 3 different lanes. Whilst drivers could still be prosecuted for driving on the pavement or cycle lane, cyclists seemed immune.

More prosecution of cyclists might solve the problem.
