This sort of treatment costs so little to install, just a few thousand euros and political will. And the tragedy is that most towns could easily come up with the former but can't muster the latter.

It needs a barrier to separate bikes from pedestrians

Naw, people on foot and on bike mix pretty well, it's the 2+-tonne metal cages that ruin cities.

I'm concerned that that entrance is uncomfortably narrow for a bike. Or even for two pedestrians walking side-by-side.
My city has recently been removing its banana bars at the entrance to pedestrian and shared paths, and honestly it's so much better. You don't need to be as narrow as this to keep cars out.
