Yup. It's called lower speed limits and improved driver training. There's no justification for Wyse Road, with its short length, to be a 50km/h zone. The car was likely going faster than that to cause a flip. This is not a fault of a bike lane, it's a fault of poor driving!
Wyse Road is just under 1.5km in length. The amount of time spent to go down such a stretch at 50km/h is roughly 1m30s. Going at 30km/h that is bumped to 2m30s. However, that assumes no stopping for the entire stretch which in reality will never occur.
In the majority of cases within the city, driving at a reasonable 30-40km/h pace will get you to your destination at the same time as any higher speed. People just can't rationalize this.
