Good example here is Salt Lake City - the streets were designed intentionally to be very wide everywhere.
- treis 2y agoBut not for cars. They were made wide enough for an ox wagon to turn around.
- recursive 2y agoOk, let's reduce ox wagons too then.
- randomdata 2y agoAre you sure that's a good example of car centricity? The streets in my town are wide enough for a six lane highway, yet the streets were built before the car was even a glimmer in someone's imagination.
- recursive 2y agoIf it wasn't car-centric then, it sure is now.
- randomdata 2y agoNah. If it were car-centric it would be much more friendly to cars. It has come to try to be everything-centric, which results in it being awful for everyone.
