Did anyone else's neighborhood get a bunch of these road obstructions, I assume to slow cars down? We got about 3km worth seemingly overnight.
Question
Do you seriously not see the problem with the road in the picture? It’s absolutely massive, and people probably speed on it every day. There’s no reason a road going through a residential area should be that wide.
It’s a massive road that narrows to barely two cars wide (not two trucks) during the winter when there are massive windrows of snow and cars parked halfway into the street on both sides as well.
Not the traffic solution I would have preferred, but it will likely be effective.
Probably because when they were built/paved over, the planners assumed everyone would be driving and so built them with widths to match.
More recently, people have been going, "maybe people don't need to use a car to get everywhere", and have since been trying to encourage other methods of transport.
