If you give the highway engineers the right task, they’ll happily do the same swoopy curves for cyclists and pedestrians – they clearly had fun with the little median strip on the cycleway here, and these exuberant bridges.
So you’d hope, Steve. However the bridge example you offer was designed by an architect; Jeff Wells.

Of course – cars flying at speed are physics objects. They go in nice sweeping curves.
Not for them the detours, sharp turns and desire-line-ignoring second-rate infrastructure we tend(ed?) to build for pedestrians and cyclists.
