"Cities can replace smooth asphalt with rough brick and cobblestone"
There are some cobblestone streets in Prague and cars driving through them, even slowly, generate a lot of unnecessary noise.
Count me out, I don't want to suffer from extra noise just because it would slow some people down. I lived in one such street for years and even with sporadic traffic, I had to open my windows at night. I hated that.
- herbst 2y agoYou mean the historic city center? Pretty sure that's not exactly state of the art

- HenryBemis 2y agoI think someone can drive 80km/h on this one. Plus they should be super-slippery in rain, right? I remember crossing Poland towards Lithuania some years back, and in some village 1h from the border had a 500m part with stones, and those stones used would force me to do 25-30km/h and not more, I feared that my tires would burst, also the noise was unbearable.
