In the Netherlands, most ...
They are intended to be a cheaper and easier-to-implement alternative to kerb protection. The estimated cost of kerb protection is £700,000/km, however the cost for light segregation is only around £60,000/km. Light segregation permitted Seville to implement a 80-kilometre (50-mile)-long cycle network in four years.
