It will mean that as motorists cannot responsibly share road space, less of it would be available to them as more dedicated cycle routes spring up all over the country.

This is the way things are going; I don’t think it’s what motorists really want but they are moaning their way into it. Sigh.
You are correct but with our challenges on road space and land ownership, expanding roads to include dedicated cycle lanes is a big ask.

What is needed is for Government (Local probably) to stand up to the Luddites and make brave road/urban space planning changes, like they made in Ghent:



However, at the end of the day, some people will just moan at anything. I mean, the Daily Mail built a whole comments section around this principle!
