Mayor London Breed has pointed to the measurable safety improvements seen since the launch of the Valencia Street Pilot Safety Project, which included a parking-protected bike lane on Valencia from Market to 15th Streets.
As a result of the safety improvements, bike-car interactions have plummeted by 95 percent and so have vehicle loadings in bike lanes, the usual cause of bikers getting "doored" by people exiting vehicles.
