Cyclists have paved road while cars travel on unpaved road

I have just returned from a tour from Prague to Berlin.
Infrastructure for cycling is excellent. In some rural areas, while the cycle path is paved, rest of the road remains unpaved/ gravel.

You sure that is not just a farm track at edge of field?

I don't think so. Because we passed many sections like that.

With cars driving up and down all the sections?

Didn't see any
In the winter, often Bike trails get the snow plowed off of them before many streets are plowed. That is because Parks and Rec is separate from the street Dept. You should listen to some of the car drivers whine.

Shouldn't that be in the road signs thread?
Sounds like a lot for a pie and a pint, but my pub-going days are over so what do I know!

It makes good sense.
The cycle path doesn't have to carry the weight of a road, meaning it's a whole lot cheaper to build and maintain. And perambulators, wheelchairs, and mobility scooters don't do well with graveled paths. And having had to use a cane for a few years, those don't either.
It's also entirely possible that the bike path and the roadway might share the same right-of-way, but be authorized and funded by different government polities, like city vs. county, or even different agencies within the same polity. The area I do most of my riding is like that.
