Yes they are, in many countries, to the detriment of public health.
The number of places where MHLs exist is increasing; due to fear-mongering
by politicans, helped by people in the cycling community who can (or will)

expensive foam hats, and who, when challenged on the facts, resort to
"shouting" (on usenet = all-caps) and name-calling.
