I guess free government money for your car to be stuck in traffic on a wider road is somehow exempt from complaint?

Looks like they are expanding what looks like a "decently designed" road into a full scale hwy?

Seems a little hasty and not understood tbh as roads should ideally not exceed 3 lanes. Road should also serve as a "connection", where hwys empty out onto roads, and then roads empty out into streets.

Seems with this redesign you might get a full scale hwy emptying out onto a street which then will probably get redesigned into a "strode".

Roads are throughways, streets are destinations.

What a street looks like:

Or my favorite, pedestrian only streets with tram lines.

1000029694

No it is already a full scale highway. They just want to add one more lane.
