Given the very predictable grid layout of many US cities, SF included, an awful lot of space could be reclaimed if many streets were made single lane traffic, one-way only.
- lucaspiller 12y agoThe streets of the US seem very wide too compared to European cities, even when cars are involved. Here is the UK equivalent of a residential street: https://letzterkunstgriff.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/harrowgate.jpg https://letzterkunstgriff.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/harrow... The section for cars to drive down looks to be about 15' vs 24'. Even that is fairly big, in a lot of cases there is only room for one car to drive at a time or only one side is parking. The pavement is a lot narrower too, around 6' vs 15'.
