While it may decrease accidents, I would think that the increased stress of going through a town with little to no structure traffic-wise doesn't balance out the benefit. It's akin to throwing dead carcasses around the neighborhood to get people to accept universal healthcare; you don't cause chaos and disorder in order to make it safe. The idea of eliminating bike lanes makes sense, but eliminating traffic lights and road signs is just too much.
- dangrover 17y agoOne of the reasons I don't like grocery shopping is the traffic problem: having to constantly get around people going variable speeds and making random stops, often times blocking entire aisles. Then if you stop to compare items in a section, you have to be constantly on alert to see if someone is trying to get by or access the same shelf. I imagine driving in a city with no signals/signs would be similar.
- roundsquare 17y agoSee, thats a problem of going too far in the opposite direction, no rules at all. Its about having the right balance of rules. E.g. there should be rules about what side of the road to drive on, but maybe not about exactly how much room to give bikers (bike lanes). Edit: I'm not suggesting that grocery stores create rules about how people walk around with carts...
