Worse than any other road that size? It's an eight-lane road and that, by itself, is a big socio/economic dividing force, regardless of the type of intersection

  I think that the commenter is implying that these planning conventions (and the overall mentality of prioritizing car traffic far ahead of pedestrian and bike traffic) go hand in hand with the eight-lane mega-road.

    That is correct. I lived there for 3.5 years and now live in downtown Toronto which is the opposite of suburban Detroit in terms of population density and sprawl. Don't get me wrong, I really love Detroit but its city planning is a huge contributor to its most pressing issues. Visit Detroit though. It's possibly the most interesting place in the world.
