It's even worse in my UK village. they don't even paint white lines, just the white outline of a bike every few hundred meters on the road.

Here's a premium shared use pavement in Bristol (allegedly a "cycling city") that shows what you're missing

lol are you serious? A "bike path" with f*cking trees and lightposts right in the middle? It looks like one of those EU-funding scams.
That path has been there a long time and is actually quite popular with cyclists as it goes alongside a very busy road that has an almost permanent queue on one side and lots of big lorries/coaches coming along the other side, so it's quite challenging to filter past the stationery vehicles without getting in the way of oncoming traffic.
For some more giggles, here's one of my favourite bits of "infrastructure" that's further along that same road (Coronation Rd, A370) on the other side. 5m of faded paint.

I'm picturing a wrecked bike and a broken body every few hundred meters, painted in reflective white paint
