Real Stories from Real People

How safe streets changed lives in cities around the world

Copenhagen Parent

"My 8-year-old daughter cycles to school every day. The protected bike lanes mean I don't worry about her safety. She's independent, healthy, and confident."

Copenhagen, Denmark

Bogotá Commuter

"I save ₹3,000 per month by cycling to work instead of taking a car. The ciclorruta network means I arrive faster and less stressed than sitting in traffic."

Bogotá, Colombia

Barcelona Resident

"After they created a superblock on my street, my asthma improved dramatically. Kids play outside now. It feels like a real neighborhood again."

Barcelona, Spain

Common Questions

No. When people can safely walk and cycle, fewer cars are on the road. Cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam have less traffic congestion despite having fewer car lanes, because 40-50% of trips are made by bicycle.

The bill requires shaded footpaths with tree cover. Cities like Singapore and Bogotá (both tropical) have successful cycling programs. Most trips are short (under 5km) and can be done in early morning or evening. Many people already walk/cycle out of necessity — this bill makes it safer.

The bill mandates phased implementation. Priority corridors (near schools, hospitals, transit) would be built first. Full city-wide networks take 5-10 years, but you'll see improvements in your neighborhood within 1-2 years of the bill passing.

You can still drive! The bill doesn't ban cars. It just ensures that people who walk, cycle, or use wheelchairs have safe infrastructure too. Many people find they can walk/cycle for 50% of their trips and drive only when necessary — saving money and time.
