It is absolutely stupid to add more lines for a main road as long as the outflow from it can’t handle it. Ten lanes of motorway makes no sense if the one outlet 90% of the cars want to take has one lane and nasty traffic lights at the next corner.
City planners should be forced to play Cities:Skylines. Lessons to be learned: a) Make public transport good and free, and b) Lane Maths.
CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Vehicles don’t even use lanes properly in Cities Skylines. They all line up single file in one lane backed up all the way down the highway all the way to the edge of the map because they all want to take one of the multiple available exits
Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Not necessarily. This can be fixed.
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
Also a lot about mods and bottlenecks.
defaultsamson@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Part of the problem with city planners is that much of their job is just alleviating car traffic. And if they were successful at doing (like making good public transport and walkable cities) they would have far less work, and be put out of a job.
That being said, I think they would realistically just start working on other city issues, but I think that’s the mindset that keeps them building this kind of stuff.
I bet there’s also a factor of that things are already going in this direction, and it’s far more difficult to go against the grain.

We really trains that fast between two points which so many people travel.
epicstove@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
If a train were to go along that whole motorway it would take up a fraction of the space, carry most if not all those people, and move them faster than this.

Hwys really should not need to be any wider that what’s shown in this photo.

All the highways in Massachusetts are like this
rumba@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
and 99% of the US roadways are this or less.
But when a road connects three urban areas with multiple suburbs in every direction, weird things happen. Most traffic horror isn’t in road planning at all, it’s in urban and suburban planning.
Why do 3 million people need to get from one side of LA to the other on a regular basis?
i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 9 months ago
All good and well until you have a 3 or 4 trailer road train limited to 90kph with a poor little box truck stuck behind it wanting to do 110kph. Trucks should be allowed in the middle lane for overtaking each other.
NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Maybe you and I can agree that a wall of Trucks and Trailers like this should never be allowed?

I present to you hwy 401 in Toronto Ontario Canada. 18 lanes at its widest point.

Imagine, all these commuter cars, steel, concrete and asphalt could be replaced with a single 30 megaton blast crater.

I’m genuinely craving that when i see this pic.

I went looking for 404 but that can’t be found.

No it is not. There copies of cars everywhere. Looks like they just doubled everything horizontally.

Classic you’re being downvoted by those with little internet common sense. The image is doctored and the patterns repeat frequently - you’re right.
Saleh@feddit.org 9 months ago
Ehm, nope? You know that white and black/dark blue/dark greyish are the most prevalent car colors?
Look at the trucks and minivans that are a bit more distinct. Their patterns with other white cars around do not repeat.
Also the one in the picture only has 20 lanes. The US widest has 26 lanes

I like how everyone is ignoring the meme and just talking about traffic and highway design instead.
