But those numerous motorists are using the road inefficiently, taking up more space per commuter and leaving a greater carbon footprint. Nevertheless, they are "rewarded" with a high percentage of the road, much more space than pedestrians and bicyclists. Motorists are not naturally numerous - they are only numerous because the configuration of the road makes it more practical for many to drive rather than look at alternate options. Take away their space and you will see the number go down. Something like the reverse of "If you build it, they will come."

Not that I have any specific proposal - just describing how it works as I see it.
