Travel is a basic right, that takes place in the public way.

Operating a motor vehicle on the public way is a privilege, because you can cause a great deal of harm if you operate it poorly.

You don’t buy the right to use the public way. If you want to operate a motor vehicle on the public way, you must demonstrate that you are qualified to operate a dangerous machine. You buy collision insurance in case you screw up, so you don’t go bankrupt paying for the damage.

All users of the public way follow the same right-of-way rules. People who pay more in taxes or fees don’t have more right-of-way.

In any case, modifying the public way to make it possibly safer for some dangerous users, and probably more dangerous for safer users, is really poor engineering, at the least.

Because roads are a public good, the safety of all users, not just the motorized users, is in issue for all of us. Surely it’s possible to design rumble strips that improve everybody’s safety, without making the road more dangerous for some users.

#1 do you think that these bike riders do not also own cars and pay these same taxes?

#2 roads are NOT exclusively for cars, they are for all legal vehicles, including bicycles. The reason drivers/owners of cars pay more tax is because of the wear and tear they cause by using these roads. ie: cars are causing more damage to the roads therefore users of cars needs to pay more to maintain them.
