But it's not just the road. The road itself is an outcome of the buildings on it. When you have things like Super Walmarts/Targets taking up 500,000 square feet, with another 500k sqft of retail shopping surrounded by single family homes you pretty much guarantee that people have to drive there. The entire parking lot is pedestrian unfriendly from the number of cars that arrive there to the excessive heat generated in summer, especially in the southern US. It's the single family home buyer with two cars and is a registered voter that is demanding the human unfriendly architecture at this point. We are getting more integrated architecture and people seem to like it, but it doesn't replace the millions of miles of bad design we already have.
