The <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ontvlechten" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ontvlechten</span></a>, or separating routes for cars from bikes, makes driving slightly less convenient, but if enough people bike/bus, you have less congestion despite reduced number of car lanes. Car users have access, but not in five redundant ways and to the exclusion of all others.</p>
