I lived on an intersection like this for a while and I felt like I was going to fucking die every time I had to cross.
I watched this youtube a while back about how bad our streets are designed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORzNZUeUHAM
This is the same guy. Tweet is from “Strong Towns” and video is from his “Strong Towns” series.
In the past we used to design our cities to be walkable because there was mo other sensible way. Now we build for cars and everything at the human level ends up far away separated by endless parking lots.
There still is no other sensible way. We just gave up on that part…
To get from 6 oclock to 10 oclock you only need to cross 14 lanes, including two
slipmurder lanes.What’s funny is a certain type of engineer will look at this and be like hnnnng oh baby look at that
Simcity/Cities Skyline players too.
Can appreciate the sex appeal of infrastructure while also recognizing its stupid and shouldnt exist outside of a video game :D
Wasn’t SimCity the game series that basically cheated and massively scaled down streets and parking spots because they realize exactly no one would like this even remotely realistic?
