    None of that makes them “car lanes.” They are intended for all road users and car drivers have no more right to them than anybody else.

      Intended for all users but designed quite specifically for one type of user. I can make a product designed to clean glass, it can clean other things but its intended purpose is to clean glass, this doesn’t change it from glass cleaner to an all-purpose cleaner. “General lanes” are designed for cars and the vast difference of needs between different transport types means we should do more at building and seperating specific lanes.
