    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

      @1rre @lgsp Smaller road reduces speed very effectively too.

      And anywhere built that densly definitely has the density for PT to be everyone’s primary mode of powered transport.

      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

          No parking altogether discourages car ownership. Unfair to the people who live there to change it aspirationally, but if you provide other transportation options that are better than driving, then you don’t need it.
