exceptionally daft question.

How, exactly, do cyclists get anywhere if "separated from motorised
traffic".

Dedicated cycle paths everywhere?

Sort of like the new dedicated cycle path along my commute route. Runs
for about 200m alongside the road, but you can't get on or off it from
the road due to guttering (no ramps anywhere to be seen).

Yeah, what does that question mean?
Do on road cycle lanes count as separation, or do they mean physical
barriers.
Completely different.

It's about time someone lobbied for a barrier between the left-most and the middle lane on Parramatta Rd. Bicycles only in the separate lane and cars can have the other two lanes. NRMA would be overjoyed!

A little like #2, but with a painted line separating peds and
cyclists...

Would be ok, but you can't get on and off it anywhere along its length
without kerb hopping.

The question says "especially on high speed roads".

The safest place to cycle is on a single lane segrated cycle path that is
well maintained. Rather expensive and rare but applicable in some
circumstances.

Cycle lanes can segrate cyclists and vehicles and make things safer for
cyclists in some circumstances.

Infrastructure can be created to provide safe, efficient routes on
secondary roads.

Though, given the current NRMA administration, forcing cyclists onto
footpaths would seem to be more their intention. If you disagree say so and
leave a constructive comment.
