And then a few more on ramps. Make em big cloverleaf ones so people don't have to slow down and we'll need to bulldoze another few hundred houses for the space.

Oh! Don't forget to push through a bypass or extra spur to the local sports arena/stadium. That way, people can drive for really far away to come for a game, but never actually seen the city while they drive in and out. The parking lots for the stadium also need to be absolutely massive so we can't even easily walk from the town anyway.

This is such a a self reinforcing problem. Once you add cars, then accommodate cars, then need more accomodations for the problems caused by cars you end up destroying the whole town so some suburbanite doesn't have to consider anything except speeding to their single destination in the city and falling out of their car door without needing to walk anywhere.
