¿Question #223078?
purplewurple: What does your hometown do to bridle the menace that is the horseless carriage?

Ruesailmana: We have a lot of slow lanes; uninterrupted bicycle lanes through and around the city and to all the neighbouring villages and beyond.
0Shea0: Outlaw horses. This way we disenfranchise the horse people and claim that the car deaths are the only acceptable way forward!!!! (On a personal note here is a story, there is a stretch of road that meanders along a river through a mountain pass here, in the middle is a small town. Every year someone dies on the road, some years whole families. The state decided to do something about it and made a plan for a straight road that unfortunately would bypass the town. Of course the small town (pop. 500) are upset because now people would have to take an exit to get to the businesses! They have been lobbying hard and protesting the new plans causing delays and money. The road could have been finished by now. But a few years and a couple deaths later it still isn't. Anyway, there is a microcosm story about how death is acceptable if it means other people can profit off of it, yay!)
pricero1: Fills the roads with 80-year olds who think that driving 20mph in a 40mph zone is racy behaviour / behavior.
mattomaw: Huge potholes.
