A 4m wide Bidirectional cycle track can allow users more space to ride at their own speed as there is a much greater opportunity for faster users to pass
Kerbs with a low forgiving angle mean the maximum width of the lane is available for users

For one more sketch I've chosen a main road at random. This is Audley Rd in Stechford near Birmingham. Lots of driveways, lots of parked cars blocking pavements, lots of wasted space to hatching.
It'd be far better with Brummy blue cycle tracks & continuous pavements.

Sadly evidence of the lack of understanding of the urban transport challenge. Single minded prioritisation won’t achieve the modal shift towards sustainable travel that cities need.

A huge amount of roads in the UK are sub 15m wide. So I'm just scribbling on a typical UK estate road before going to 3D
How to get the room - make it 1 way?. Then whats best? uni or bidirectional track?

The zig zag design is not for me and U.K. drivers make almost anything unmanageable, but if you just had this on EVERY road and street in a city, all continuously connected, you would suddenly have a functioning healthy transport network.
Leith Walk/Dalmeny Street continuous cycle way just about working as intended.
