As a person that lives on a residential street, and have my whole life, they are not straight and cleared of obstructions. At least in the Chicagoland area.
Often curved, with a center berm and trees, etc. Sure the major streets are a different issue, but then those aren't residential streets.
- coldpie 1y agoYour experience in Chicago is definitely not universal. I live in Saint Paul, MN and many of our residential roads are perfectly straight for miles. Earlier this summer, someone was killed by a driver going approx 100 MPH on a perfectly straight, Saint Paul residential street. https://www.fox9.com/news/100-mph-intersection-crash-homicide-charges-st-paul-may-2025 https://www.fox9.com/news/100-mph-intersection-crash-homicid...
