1 or 2 lanes of traffic is not what I am referring to. 2 is plenty, the solution isn't MoAr RoADs, it's LESS GOD DAMN CARS! People don't need their car to travel all the time but you try to tell them that and they lose their fucking minds. It's goddamn infuriating and if you don't believe me go read through the responses.

Even your response is tainted by that logic, it's not true: We as a society do not need nor should we have to rely upon cars for everything we do. If we don't change this, we are consigning ourselves and our children to a horrible future. Very few people seem to actually give a fuck though. This shit needs to change, but it won't because of entitled people unwilling to change.

Are you one of them?

Yeah, no that's not how this shit works and I'm tired of debating carbrains on their carbrained horseshit so you go ahead and believe whatever the fuck you like I guess. 3+ lanes for traffic inside the city is fucking gross and insane.

I can see why you might think so, but counterintuitively, it's simply not true. It doesn't help and it makes the areas where they're built shittier to exist in. The continual widening of roads is a bad idea. A lane or two is sufficient. The rest of the expansion should be for footpaths, bike paths, and rail, period. This has been proven repeatedly to be the most effective setup for getting people around and maintaining a good quality of life.

Just to forewarn you: The above is an established proven fact that's played out repeatedly for better and worse depending on which way the city went. Ignoring that reality will open you up to ridicule so I'd encourage you to actually take time to consider the above fact. On top if not helping at all and making everything worse, it also takes up a fuckton of space and costs a crazy amount of resources to maintain.

If you're skeptical that's fine, go learn about it, but don't give a knee-jerk carbrain reaction because that just makes you look like a fool. Check out Paris, France if you want to look for a recent example of changing to a more effective transportation infrastructure. Check out Hyperbad, India if you want some urban hell nightmare fuel.

Not how roads work, dumbfuck.

Ultrawide roads do not help congestion and never have, that's a fact.

You can disagree with a fact, but that will just make you a dumb fuck, you god damn stupid-ass dumbfuck.

I invite these 9 dumbfucks to eat all of my shit and hair.

Inequity is a global issue.

Instead we got trickled on.

We should already be on a fucking 3 day with increased pay with how much productivity has gone up, instead we're just getting ass raped harder and harder while rich assholes keep getting richer and richer with no end in sight.

How do you count just one cricket's chirps? There are usually tons of them.

There are nearby stores that do their own delivery too, which is great for people who may have mobility issues, are immunocompromised, busy AF, etc.

Silly goose is my spirit animal.

 

The X Games has abruptly banned all electric dirt bikes from competition, changing course after those piloting Stark Vargs dominated competitions.

 

In New York and other cities where congestion pricing policies, bike infrastructure projects, and car bans have been put in place, cyclists are finding the streets more welcoming.
