not just that, but the design itself is often actively counterproductive, and the fact that driving is often the only way to get around means the roads are forced to handle an insane amount of traffic.
i like to say that the nordics are an example of actual car-centric design: the roads are simple and efficient and the other modes of transport are good enough, which means there aren’t thousands and thousands of incompetent and unwilling drivers on the roads.
Agreed! I live in a very rural part of the country and the conditions of the roads and highways are laughable.
