At this point, I'd settle for taking the 2-lane road segments in my town that turn into 4-lane nightmares and then merge back into 2-lane streets a dozen blocks later with bike lanes and parking, and getting rid of the 4-lane parts that often don't have sidewalks or bike infra.

Sure, these road segments funnel traffic away from the more-residential city grid streets, but they're also rife with speeding and they make it hard to navigate on a bike unless you happen to know which streets have any sort of infra

Eh, keep some for emergency & delivery vehicles, public transport and bicycles.

They don't actually rip up roads but just put retractable bollards there that are lowered for emergency vehicles and cargo delivery with a permit.
