It’s really dangerous to ride a bike on the roads in my 3rd world city even walking is dangerous due to bike lanes basically being ignored, motorcycles weaving around traffic, and poor nighttime lighting.

I just thought that dedicated bike/walking only roads connecting the major parts of my city would be a big boost for safety and I think it would greatly reduce the amount of people using cars.

Has this been tried somewhere else? Was it successful?

Check out Amsterdam and Copenhagen!

I currently live in Malmö, Sweden which is not as known for this, but is one of the best cities for biking in Sweden.

I have lived in smaller towns in Sweden with great bike infra as well.

It is not unusual, it all depends on the city planners to not blow 100% of the budget on cars.
