I agree that a good road is better than a bad road, especially for those who really need the roads like commercial vehicles, emergency vehicles, and whatever other essential vehicles I'm forgetting. Maybe a little leeway for those who are disabled, too.If you wanted to build an exclusive highway for these vehicles for example, so that if I'm in a CBD and caught in a fire the fire trucks will come in a fraction of the time, I would consider. But there should be no encouragement for someone to drive into the city when they can use public transit, all or part of the way. There certainly shouldn't be roads closed to commercial vehicles in the city, as there are. Put in congestion pricing, make it cheaper to go from Long Island to New Jersey via the Throgs Neck rather than via the 59th St bridge for example, then take a look around at the resulting traffic patterns and demands and improve highways accordingly. |
