Paris to build 5 bike highways, add new lights and bike racks, lower car speed limit

Didn’t read the whole thing, but this caught my eye:

Quote:

Parisians can now get reimbursed for 33 percent of the cost of an electric bike, with the upper cap set at €400.

Great article. That takes spine to cut the speed limit to 18 mph – good for them. I’m intrigued by their proposed corner treatments:
“Junctions with traffic lights will be equipped with 7,000 new alternative corner crossings that allow cyclists to turn without waiting for lights to turn green. Where these are not in place, cyclists will benefit from priority at all lights.”
I wonder how this will work. Perhaps a field trip is in order (a girls’s gotta have dreams… )
