Roads predate cars. Cars took them over from people and far slower horses.

So what? Its a fact today. Nobody going back to horses.

The ‘so what’ is maybe they should be given back to the people they were originally built for.

Elitist cyclists??

[chrisseaton]

We had roads before cycles.

[jtdev]

Are you proposing that we turn roads over to foot and equine traffic only?

The air was co-opted by planes... should we turn that back over to avian only traffic?

[chrisseaton]

I think it should be the default certainly in cities and much more the default in suburbs than it is now.

For the main point was that roads weren’t built for cars - cars co-opted them from people. It doesn’t have to be that way.
