Welcome to the Global Cycling Network!
The only good argument I’ve seen for sharerows is that cars shouldn’t be on the streets they’re on anyway. Make them vehicular dead ends with narrow roadways and then only local drivers will bother.
That’s the only place it’s OK to have bike and car traffic mix. Everywhere else needs dedicated infra. If you can’t do grade separation then there need to be barriers or bollards instead.
Every road should have
2 paths for pedestrians, 2 paths for bikes, 1+ lanes of cars, maximum of 2 each way.
And even then I’m hesitant on the 2 car thing. Only if it’s an actual road and not a stroad.
Honestly, the only time bikes should be on roads is when crossing them at 90⁰ angles. There should be streets parallel to major roads if there isn’t dedicated bike paths.
So convert the stroads to proper streets, and push car traffic onto arterial roads and highways.
