It’s really dangerous to ride a bike on the roads in my 3rd world city even walking is dangerous due to bike lanes basically being ignored, motorcycles weaving around traffic, and poor nighttime lighting.

I just thought that dedicated bike/walking only roads connecting the major parts of my city would be a big boost for safety and I think it would greatly reduce the amount of people using cars.

Has this been tried somewhere else? Was it successful?

Not quite the same but my area has walkways and trails in park and forest preserve areas that can kinda be used. As someone mentioned the park ones can get crowded but are great if you just time it right. Like at one point I had a 3 mile bike ride but I would bike to miles to get to the lake front trail and do the three miles on it then bike 2 miles back in the morings because it was just so great. Opposite of what you sorta looked for as I more than doubled my commute and even increase my time on road bike lanes but again. soooooo nice.
