Arent roads useful for more things than cars? Biking on a road that is filled with small rocks is not fun
Streets can also allow kids play if there arent cars on them
ish, but without cars you don't need a 20 lane highway. and streets can also less lanes,
roads designed for cars are massively larger than roads that aren't made for cars, a standard modern car-centric road would be a pretty major and significant thing for most of human history.
A single standard car lane is a generously wide bike path.
cars will never be green. While cars have their use, we should limit the usage of 1 person per car.
The biggest motivator for cars and wide roads are weekend getaways; there are good options for commute and long-distance travel. Maybe, if you ban private car purchases and have good rail connectivity, people'd get by on rentals.
Good luck AmeriKa, you are way behind the 1st World and the fucking MAGAts will make it worse.
I've started listening to "Everything Electric" podcast and am increasingly getting irritated by the idea that the only solution is everyone getting rid of their ice car and getting an electric one.
I can't work out thats because it fits my rhetoric/approach (got rid of my car for an electric moped) or if I really believe it.
A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!
