One part is to not share roads, but to have separate bike paths. Physical separation (e.g. trees between cars and bikes) is another method. There's lots of clever things infrastructure folks have come up with; Not Just Bikes is the classic YouTube channel that details many of them.

This is something true for major roads. However, also in the Netherlands you cannot have a separate road door to door for everyone. But I guess if cars are below 30 kmh statistical risks are less. However, I flew mid air a bit hit by a car at approximately 15 kmh .

Yeah that's why I said it's only part of it. I'd really recommend that YouTube channel, there's so many little things you can do to make traffic safer for everyone.
