glibg10bWalking is slow and you can’t bring stuff with you. Keep the roads, but provide better public transport and tax big pickup trucks and SUVs
diprount_tomatoWdym? These streets are driveable, you just have to go slowly and through limited areas
That sounds like the worst of both worlds
Well, that’s what those “walkable streets” are
Surprise, the world isn’t all glitter and unicorns
It’s not, it’s how roadway heirachy is supposed to work. You have slow pedestrian streets which are places you go, and high speed, grade separated roads which connect them along with biking and walking paths. Streets still need car access, but not fast and not as thoroughfares.
What the US has done is merged this into the stroad, which doesn’t work for anyone.
Urbanism’s whole point is the relative slowness of walking. Cargo can be escalated through hand, bag, backpack, cart, disassembly, re-acquisition.
you can’t bring stuff with you.
Pockets, bags, carts. You can take even more stuff walking than on public transit.
