From the article:

> Cycling and walking infrastructure has been expanded in recent years, helping to separate vulnerable road users from motor traffic.

> Helsinki’s current traffic safety strategy runs from 2022 to 2026 and includes special measures to protect pedestrians, children, and cyclists.

With no numbers offered. Lots of cities "expanded" cycling infrastructure but can't boast that level of safety. By far the strongest distinguising factor is the speed limit. That is a mere policy that doesnt cost taxpayers billions, it works, and therefore is politically viable.

"Special measures" is not just code for bike lanes either.
