@mrlithic Completely separating bikes & cars works really well. Ever been to Holland?

Cyclist movements will often be unexpected due to road surfaces etc, which is why the highway code recommends drivers give as much room to a bike as they would a car.

Most cars do not want to hit you, but even if 1% do........

Bicyclists and motorists need to learn how to behave together

Separating bikes and cars will not solve this

Don't underpass

Make your movements expected - don't move in an unexpected manner

Most cars do not want to hit you

Most of the time it's just lazy contractors, lack of use or lack of cleaning/maintenance. Often they sweep the road but not the cycle lane, so you get broken glass, grit and all sorts in there. And drivers wonder why cyclists prefer to use the road instead; at least it's a little bit cleaner and smoother to ride on.

Compensation claims for riding into obstacles must be huge.
