I am not sure how that would be possible where I live. This would involve destroying a bunch of residential homes to add curves (the neighborhood I am in goes back at least to the 1930s, as thats when the house I am in was originally built).
- dagw 6y agoHow does narrowing roads lead to destroying houses? You can also add curves to road while narrowing it without changing the overall width of the road. If nothing else works just add speed bumps.
- kop316 6y agoThe roads where I live are quite narrow to begin with, and many houses do not have driveways, so street parking is the only choice for many houses. I don't think there is a possiblity of narrowing them in the first place.
