How is it that "floating stops" designed like the ones shown below (which are great IMO) are considered to be different?
The only difference I see is instead of crossing a highspeed car lane, one would cross a slow speed cycling lane designed with the intent to protect individuals on bicycles.
But somehow instead something like this is considered "safer" where transits riders step out into a cycle lane to board a bus or tram.
Or something like such where pedestrians step out onto a roadway.
