Should motorbikes and cars share lanes? How to deal with left turns (the dangerous ones) in junctions? Should motorbikes and bikes have to do two-step left turn?

There's an idea that we should categorize vehicles as human-poweres or not. Is this a good idea? How about paddle-assist-only ebikes?

When there's not enough space for lanes, which type of vehicle get compromised?

For the ones that want the actual numbers (not cherry-picked bullshit) here you go!

The only borough that has above 50% car usage is Staten Island. NYC as a whole is at 26.7% car usage. Queens has high car usage and yet Public transit is more than 10% higher.

You can easily get this data from NYC's data portal. https://a816-dohbesp.nyc.gov/IndicatorPublic/data-explorer/walking-driving-and-cycling/?id=2415&MeasureID=1304&GeoType=NTA&TimePeriodID=287&overlay=table
