In my experience, segregated bike lanes are also more dangerous mid-block, because they create a false sense of security. Pedestrians blithely step into the bike lane without warning because they consider it a sidewalk extension, and cyclists feel free to treat a narrow one-way segregated lane as two-way. I often see delivery men on e-bikes riding the wrong way in segregated bike lanes at night and without lights.
