On roads where you can drive 30+MPH (50 KMPH+), I would suggest removing any possiblity for pedestrians to cross. Either make the road 20MPH (30KMPH) max where all space is shared with pedestrians, bicycles and cars - or make much better, safer & faster 50KMPH+ roads.
- IshKebab 9y agoIs this satire? How do you walk anywhere otherwise?
- ReverseCold 9y agoMaybe, but it's an interesting concept. My city put bridges over a lot of the major roads for people to cross. A few roads have a tunnels underneath as well.
- greeneggs 9y agoI imagine you don't even have to put too many of them in, before any pedestrians give up and drive---having tired of needing to climb and descend four flights of stairs or, worse, walk an extra block along ramps, just to cross the street.
- icebraining 9y agoMake the whole city 20mph max? Fine by me :)
- sharpercoder 9y agoIf I'm in a car, I'd like to not brake-accelerate-brake-accelerate but rather move in a constant tempo. If I'm a pedestrian, I'd like a car-less safe environment to walk.

- so33 9y agoIn many large cities in Asia, the solution has been to elevate the pedestrian layer entirely using a system of skybridges, at least at the most congested roads. Of course, this would require a large investment in infrastructure.
