I wouldn't feel safer if food, medical products, construction materials, and other materials for our wellbeing became less accessible due to the increased labor cost of transport associated with significantly lower speed limits, however.
- ehnto 4y agoThe separarion of streets for people and roads for cars means better, faster car flow too. The problem America has is that it tries to smoosh cars and peds on the same roads, making them terrible for both. Instead of being able to do 40 on every road, think instead of doing 15 on some roads and 60 on others. The amount of actual ped zones in America is pretty small anyway, think downtown shopping precints and stuff like that, so the majority of roads would still be car dominant.
