I’m not sure that I buy the guy’s premise that a lack of roads cause people to drive less. Yes, it’s a helpful combatant to driving out of laziness, but some people need/want to drive and they always will.
Edmonton and Calgary have a ton of roads and ridiculous sprawl, and I’ve never seen the roads super-busy (except for during construction or Highway 1 (16 Ave) in Calgary). Vancouver, on the other hand, has way less road, less cars, smaller cars, narrower lanes, and less parking but during daylight hours driving is hell. However, in the evenings the roads are practically empty.
What are your thoughts?
