They only way to remove conflict between bikes and cars, where the bike usually loses, is to remove cars or bikes. Giving the road to cars is tried and always runs into standstill traffic and stupendous infrastructure costs. Bike infrastructure turns out to scale more and is cheaper.
mixing cars and bikes works, but only under specific circumstances: you need to make sure the cars drive slowly, there’s little car traffic in the first place, and ideally drivers should be used to cyclists and cyclists themselves, so they actually view them as humans and avoid making them feel like shit.
