Remember: the problem with driving is that the road is LEAST USEFUL precisely when it's most highly demanded. Trains can stay on schedule no matter how crowded they get--roads *must* slow down if they get any higher than 18% capacity (aka LOS "E")

If we cared about the "physical and psychological comfort" of all travelers HALF as much as we've codified caring about the same for drivers, we would have the best transport network in the world. Instead...pic.twitter.com/QImNYox8MD

LOS A = 550' between cars, 3% road occupancy LOS B = 330' between cars, 6% road occupancy LOS C = 220' between cars, 9% road occupancy LOS D = 160' between cars, 13% road occupancy (TRAFFIC UNSTABLE AT THIS POINT AND BEYOND)

LOS E = 120' between cars, 17% road occupancy (TRAFFIC CONGESTED) LOS F = TRAFFIC JAMMED ...do you see how insane this is? To get the "ideal" level of road traffic, you need *27 times* as much road as you have cars on it. How much road do you think one car can pay for in taxes?
