I'm not disagreeing necessarily (I know nothing about city planning), but wouldn't a smaller highway just force people onto the side streets and city roads? How does a superhighway make traffic worse?
There are some good videos by notjustbikes on this topic, iirc the main problem is that big streets make people want to drive more which makes everything more crowded
Ah, bikes. Driving is a necessity. I'm not going to commute 30 miles to work on a bike, and I'm not going to haul a pallet of drywall on a bicycle.
Off-road bikes are great, and they're good machines for exercise. Bicycles should not be allowed on public roads. They're a hazard.
Your particular commute might not be feasible without a car, but many are. Adding bike infrastructures allows those who can commute by bike to do so, while freeing space on the road for those who can't..
