Where I live has walkability by accident but the car infrastructure is so massive here, to support as many (probably more, TBH) employees who commute to our area for work as there are people who live here, that it destroys your ability to walk anywhere quickly. The street crossings turn a 10 minute walk, one way, into a half of an hour or longer.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI consider an area unwalkable once an intersection 5 or more lanes wide appears.
- throwawayboise 5y agoDowntown Copenhagen has many of those....
- lotsofpulp 5y agoUS lanes are probably much wider, plus driver etiquette is probably lacking in comparison to Copenhagen.
- scruple 5y agoYep, these are 5 lane crossings.
