    Looking at Google streetview, this is a classic overbuilt multilane stroad with 40mph speed limit. Which means the city could have had both the parking spaces and a bike lane (parking protected even!) while only losing one auto lane per direction. Such a configuration would also fix the speeding issue.

      and, most importantly, not a single junction that isn’t just a fucking intersection with traffic signals, which utterly cripples throughput and makes everyone want to die.

      if they turned the major intersections into roundabouts, and reduced all roads to 1 lane per direction i’ll eat my shoe if traffic wouldn’t become way better.
