minus-squareArkouda@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoUnder the original lane for 100x the cost?
minus-squaretarsn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoDon’t worry bro it’ll only take 15 years for a 10km stretch and cost double what we estimated
minus-squarebluGill@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoBy the time anyone realizes a lane is needed you need 5 times as many lanes as you have to allow safe seperation between cars.
minus-squareFireRetardant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoIf at any point you need 5 additonal lanes, you don’t need lanes, you need different infrastructure
minus-squarebluGill@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoIt isn’t 5 more lanes it is 5 times. So a exurb two lane freeway starting to become crowded needs to expand to ten lanes just for safety.
minus-square[email protected]@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoBuild one lane for each person. have a nice cakeday
