Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.

    I understand your argument but there is a clear bias here. Unless youre in an exceptionally denly populated area, people dont travel this close to one another. Most leave at least 1-2 humans gap between eachother, especially if there are wheelchairs, kids and prams involved.

    Thats all my argument was, the cars are spaced out per lane (albiet bumper to bumper) but the side to side space is not consistent with the walkers. You could fit cars in between the cars with how they are spaced in that pic. I live in a victorian town where the roads force you to drive wingmirror to wingmirror

    Im on the fuckcars space here, trust me I agree cars need to be phased out/down but thats no excuse for bias in data

        Yeah tbh it’s a problem of mine, I expect too much from the average user.

        thanks for grounding me
