it's also a great way to put people's lives at risk. i don't think anyone thought of what you're describing.
No, that's explicitly the reason for it, and it's been shown to reduce the severity of crashes because people drive the speed limit when they feel it's risky to go faster.
so swerving into oncoming traffic is safe? i had numerous near crashes because people overtook a bike driver coming my way. the netherlands do it better, the bikes have their own separated lane.
Your feelings do not match actual reality.
