I see that said in DC but it doesn't solve the issue of visitors arriving by car and not able to find parking to reach transit. - Max Jan 19, 10:27 2
- Enforcement has to come with the creation of these bus and bike lanes otherwise drivers will just ignore it and park wherever they want. - Krusty Jan 19, 10:36 1
  - Self-driving/connected cars. If every car can communicate with each other you eliminate backs and could communicate lack of parking. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 10:47
there's a ton of research that shows that adding lanes to existing highways does nothing to alleviate traffic. the only good solution is mass transit - colin Jan 19, 10:20 16
- Induced demand. It happens with every road that gets widened. It won't alleviate traffic to add more lanes. Adding public transit that works well - Krusty Jan 19, 10:23 2
  - our bike lanes they made a huge deal about here are now filled with dead leave, branches, trash, and then abruptly are just not there -- nm - colin Jan 19, 10:28 1
    - *smh* That's basically as good as not having built them. They must be maintained just like the maintain the roads. NYC bought small plows so - Krusty Jan 19, 10:30
- I'd go further and suggest that mass transit is only a portion of the solution. It works best when paired with pedestrian & bicycle infrastructure. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:21 12
  - And culturally, we just don't mind living far away from our jobs. Automobile interiors have only gotten nicer and nicer. -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 10:29 3
    - Well, I did mind. But I also sorta liked the period of time where I was taking mass transit. Gave a nice prologue and epilogue to the work day. - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:33 2

        Oh! Thanks -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:38

    - That doesn't stop many people. I see a lot of people on bikes throughout the day and I don't mean delivery people. I'm not doing it but - Krusty Jan 19, 10:25
    - Amsterdam would like a word -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 10:24 5
      - But everyone there is either high or post-orgasmic euphoric. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 10:26 3
        
        And how is that a problem? -- nm - Krusty Jan 19, 10:33 2
        
        Not a replicatable issue when we don’t allow many dispensaries or legal hookers. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 10:35 1
        
        I'm all in favor of many dispensaries and legal sex work over building more roads or creating more parking. Give me weed, hookers and a bike lane! -- nm - Krusty Jan 19, 10:38
      - Is the word Brrrr? -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 10:25
