I live on the "stalk" of such a development and therefore my street is the busiest. Nonetheless, it is extremely pleasant, as only residents or service people use it. It isn't a shortcut to anywhere. The biggest shortcoming is that no consideration was made for pedestrians. Even though we live close enough that my kids could walk to school, there aren't any trails or sidewalks that offer the opportunity. By road, we're a few miles away, so my kids take the bus. It's kind of sad.
- rdtsc 15y agoThat is exactly what they solved in my community. There are cul-de-sacs but they have also built bike-able and walkable paths between the back yards so you can still cut through if you wanted on foot or bike but cars can't pass through.
