"The turn eliminations cause extra travel, time, and air pollution."Actually, they do the reverse. They reduce the net travel time and air pollution. "Not everyone needs to go straight all the time" Correct. "and three right turns also adds to traffic and air pollution" From that INDIVIDUAL CAR, yes. To traffic as a whole, it does the reverse. "and therefore decreases safety." No. "Very easy to make proposals you don't have to live with." Yes. But we do have to live with this one. And no, proposals like Woodhaven SBS aren't particularly easy to make. First off, a decent amount of engineering work needs to go into any successful plan. Secondly, a decent amount of political effort needs to go behind it as there are antitransit neanderthals such as yourself who don't even care that the people crossing the streets live as long as they themselves can save a couple of minutes getting to their destination in a car. |
