It tends to work well enough over broad stretches, including the end points. Since the model for the last couple generations was expanding in to the "green field" suburbs and that model is now breaking down due to the distances finally becoming too insane / growth boundaries being enforced, there has now been a building pressure that is finally being re-directed in to other areas. Unfortunately civic codes are focused more on preventing the loss of life than on making life a quality affair. I would really love to have actual peace and quiet at home; being completely unable to hear those on the other side of the walls, and requiring that build in appliances be similarly quiet instead of the cheapest possible and least effective exhaust fans.
