They tried that for a while. Sadly, Dutch motorists are no better than ours and that's why the campaign for cycling facilities (not only bike lanes) there was called "Stop Child Murder" (stop de kindermoord, I think, if you want to look it up on YouTube). I'd not really considered this before, and just accepted the Dutch model on trust as being better - but there were a lot of bikes squeezed into the bike lanes and mixing it with pedestrians -I saw 2 hit-(uninjured) over 3 days. Maybe a lot easier to have the whole road instead - and cyclists being at Amsterdam numbers - cars would just have to wait.
