Funny, the job site comparison is also in the article:

Cannon said: “In every other hazardous environment, particularly workplaces, we apply an internationally recognised hierarchy of controls: eliminating danger where possible, engineering risks out of the system and separating people from hazards. Only as a last resort do we rely on personal protective equipment. On our roads, we invert this logic entirely, skipping straight to: ‘Be visible’ and ‘Watch out’.”

It's much easier to make rules for private warehouses. We do need to redesign transit infrastructure to accommodate cyclists safely. But it's a massive undertaking and there's a heap of cunts out there who don't give a fuck about cyclists and want to spend the money adding lanes to freeways or other dumb shit to make cars lives easier (sell more fuel)..
