Urban areas in the US by definition means not just the downtown but all the surrounding suburbs and rural buffers. You definitely need the freeway to get downtown in most cases.
- lambda 3y agoDude, you absolutely don't. There are plenty of places in the US where you can take public transit, walk, and bike to get everywhere that you need to. Just because you live in a miserable, car-bound, suburban hellscape doesn't mean that everyone else has to.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI could totally do this in Seattle. Heck, most of the time my routing software avoids the freeway anyways, in favor of 25-40 mph roads. It’s a sore point though: we just have a couple of north south freeways and one east west one. Well, it’s better than nearby Vancouver BC at least.
