> What bike infrastructure would you like to see, if not bike lanes?
Junctions are where drivers tend to kill cyclists, so junction improvements are far more effective than anything along the "normal" road. Bike boxes and, ideally, dedicated light phases for bikes help far more than lanes.

We have that in SF and in the year before COVID I basically spent every morning commute berating at least one person that tried to cross in front of me on a bike-only light. It's really hard for Americans to give up the right-turn-on-red.
In NYC they just hand out tickets like candy to people who don't know that right-turn-on-red is illegal through essentially the whole city. In 2019 though I didn't see any enforcement at all of bike-protection lights and lanes.
This is the perfect use-case for cameras. Here in .nl you dont get a ticket from a police officer. The camera takes the picture and the fine is there in your mailbox the next week ;-)
In our hometown, a big project was just finished where most busy intersections were replaced with bike tunnels. It was an expensive project, but now that it's finished it saves a lot of time in the morning commute for both cyclists and drivers.
