We will never end gridlock, never.
It would be nice to have transportation alternatives, however.
They missed the easiest, cheapest and most effective solution: working from home. We wouldn’t need half of what we’ve built already if we put an end to the commute for office workers. We might even make our Paris Accord targets that way too.
I’m guessing that’s the 401? I know someone who used to commute on that and it sounded like fucking hell. Hours every day, in the car, driving, snacking, listening to the radio. You leave work and just get on a road in your car for hours.
People talk shit about paying a lot of money for tiny places in the city but I’d rather live in a box than commute 3-4 hours a day for 30 years.
But, and hear me out, bro, what if we added just one more lane?
Under the original lane for 100x the cost?
Don’t worry bro it’ll only take 15 years for a 10km stretch and cost double what we estimated
By the time anyone realizes a lane is needed you need 5 times as many lanes as you have to allow safe seperation between cars.
If at any point you need 5 additonal lanes, you don’t need lanes, you need different infrastructure
Every time I hear, “just one more lane,” this video starts playing in my head.
Build one lane for each person.
have a nice cakeday
Oh fuck it is! Hooray for Reddit dying!
Each possible origin needs a road to each possible destination. No intersections, no traffic, problem solved!
Happy cake day! And that’s a brilliant idea
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
I like how menacing this headline is.
