Definitely. And yet they never seem to redesign the roads for the speed we want.

Let's redesign streets for the benefit of the people who live there, rather than the speed and convenience of the cars that drive through. I'm sick of the noisy and dangerous traffic around the place where I live, and I can't afford to move.

Stroads... Canada is FULL of them. I wish they'd design streets here like they do in the Netherlands. I lived there for years and it was awesome.

Stroads: The infrastructure that sucks for everyone, pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers all the same.

But that's the Canadian way. Everyone gets a trophy. We're too "polite" to pick a favourite. We hope that in doing so we can make everyone happy, but end up making everyone unhappy.

The people of the Netherlands are known for being much more, let's say, blunt. They're not afraid to choose a winner.

How else do they get money from the people?
