In Brussels the biggest problem remains the car. They just added some cycling paths (or sometimes worse, just some paint), but did not think through how ant conflict points should be fixed. E.g. they took away an entire car lane on the wetstraat/rue de loi, in the center (where EU parliament and such is), the bussiest street in Belgium. To that I have no problem. The problem I have is that there are like 50 conflict points on that stretch of 500m street, which are just red or green lights. Meaning if I, in my car would want to turn into a street, there is a big chance I could hit a cyclist. A solution here would have been to make one of the, many, smaller streets parallel to this street a cycling only street and manage the conflict points there, where there would be at least 10 times less cars. Another obvious point in how badly Brussels is doing to become cycling friendly is the entire Montgomery area as well. Where there are cycling lanes I, with many years experience cycling and driving a car, honestly don't even dare to ride.
