It's so strange to have this "areas of death" in our towns. You turn the wrong way - you're dead. You saw the wrong color - dead. I understand that it takes some evolution to solve that, but it's SO. STRANGE.
Imagine people who never saw that concept - high speed (>30mph) roads near pedestrians. And then someone comes and says "Let's build these danger zones with custom rules, they will allow people to leave public transport for personal vehicles. And if you step it wrong, you might get killed!".
Would these people agree? Would they take it as a natural idea? Insane.

- sfjailbird 6y agoAgreed, and I believe people of the future will be astounded that we used to accept that public streets were killing fields for small kids, animals and the inattentive. (Not to mention having a significant portion of the area taken up by idle vehicles, but I digress.) I believe the solution will be autonomous cars, which are not only (overly) cautious, but can pick you up or drop you off, and then scuttle off to underground parking or to pick up the next person.
