Charlotte laughs at that.

Probably wouldn’t be so bad if they actually built the fucking light rail.

[–] woodytrombone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

you take your half-built light rail that exists to ferry people into Tepper's stadium and you'll like it!

She's stuck in irregularly shaped traffic.

The city that's the least linear. Charlotte is a constant log jam because for major metropolis cities you do actually want a directional grid specifically for making the city easy to navigate with multiple outlets for traffic to flow in the event of a conflict (break down, accident, road work, etc). A city that doesn't prioritize navigability will be filled with culs-de-sac which are horrible for traffic and navigability

Navigation doesn't mean you have to have a gridiron Pattern... As said, its the opposite.
