This looks quite cool. We don't have anything like this here.
Ours come in 2 forms.
The first is just a designated shoulder - a line on the side of the road, no physical barrier, but formally designated with markings. These are meaningless to cars and I'm certain that almost all drivers (and cyclists) don't realise that there's any difference between this and an ordinary road shoulder.
The second is really daft. It's basically a lane marked on the pavement in the right of this video. It stops at every intersection, so each section is only 1 block long and then you just become pedestrian traffic and have to negotiate intersections.
No solution is perfect and I can see some potential issues here but it's pretty good.
