A very important first step --
The impetus is on many people to bring it further in a sensible way that meets everybody's needs. Let's even at least be as aggressive as New York City is in finding ways to satisfy cars & bikes, while achieving #VisionZero.
As an example, take a look at this NYCDOT PDF (New York City Department Of Transportation) for their proposed bike improvements to a road in New York City (ironically, called "Amsterdam Avenue").
www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/2015-11-10-amsterdam-avenue-northbound-bike-route.pdf
And out of convenience, I've made a few page screenshots with commentaries:
Government nod to "Vision Zero", at bottom right corner:![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/fTiL1mJ.png)
Look Ma! This New York City road used to have less bike traffic than Hamilton Cannon Ave!![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/b5dl6EL.png)
Sensible common principles, widely known from earlier Vision Zero initiatives over the last 20 years.![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/QhH1T4D.png)
An example of how 1-way road can become nicer for bikes/pedestrians too, done in a way without drivers feeling too inconvenienced. Imgur
More data analysis...![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/VUMwBX5.png)
More common-sense guidelines that worked in other Vision Zero initiatives... Separation is best. But intersections are an unavoidable shared space that needs to be properly managed.![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/lBGD4W6.png)

People,
These are government Vision Zero documents.
For New York City.
For one of their streets that had less bike traffic than Cannon (before 2014).
