WAZE is interesting as is Google Directions. In effect they have enabled side roads to 'absorb' the increase in car use without having to deal with actual shifting people out of cars into other modes. In the WAZE Driver Satisfaction survey, the Netherlands came out on top. I'm guessing this is because so many people can choose not to drive to work/school/shops/etc. https://www.waze.com/driverindex https://www.waze.com/driverindex The Netherlands also have the happiest children in the world with the best child travel independence. I'm guessing creating a world where active travel (walking and cycling) is built into your environment from the getgo sets you up for life to be active. Their diet is bloody awful. ;)
