    And look how much space that cars which aren’t even in use take up. Like 99% of the time they just sit there.

    And it’s not even free space. Every inch given to cars is taken away from people and green space.

    We need to rebalance the space we all live in.

    Obviously cars need at least 3x more room than they actually use because it makes them feel safer driving at higher speeds and great cities are made when cars are able to drive as fast as possible.

    Looks like the sides are on street parking which is better than huge lots as you have an argument to restrict it to residents as it’s in lower supply, and also serves to reduce the speed of cars on the road, so actually better than being a 4 lane stroad

      ?? I love paying for people to store their (one very specific property) for free.

      Just shrink the road.

          This place is too full of single minded hate to have a real convo, it’s gotten silly.

      The space close to crossroads should not be dedicated to parking, because parked cars limit visibility of incoming cars. The solution proposed by the maker of the video is much more livable and much less dangerous.

      The technique is sometimes called daylighting, and you can find more information about it here

        Off-street parking is worse than on-street as it requires crossing cycle lanes and sidewalks, usually without traffic controls, so increases the interactions between other road users and cars
