7/10 A fast car is nice, but a fast road is even better. How's the
traffic in Europe (Switzerland and Germany), compared to average
Bay Area traffic? For example, what is the highway speed limit in
small towns, suburbs, urban, etc.
\_ Way more fixed speed cameras and speed checks, way longer traffic
jams, generally not as horrible rush hour on a daily basis, speed
limits off highways usually a bit higher, fines worse. -John
limits off highways usually a bit higher, fines worse, people drive
in a more consistently and orderly fashion (no passing on right,
fewer idiots in SUVs yakking on cell phones.) -John
\_ I ENVY YOU. No, I hate America. No, I hate you.
\_ Why does Fräulein John hate America?
\_ What do you think the US should do to make its transportation
system better? I hate our system but I don't want to move to
Europe.
\_ You do realize there are entire university departments devoted
to this question, right? I honestly dunno. Maybe higher gas
prices & better public transit is a start; drive fewer
automatics so there are less brake lights, so fewer traffic
jams, make driving tests harder, make living in city centers
more attractive, I really dunno. If you've ever been in a
25km German traffic jam on $4 gasoline, you might think there
are good sides to everything... -John
\_ I would love to raise the max tax to 50% and raise
gasoline price to $3 a gallon to fund super metropolis
with superior mass transit system but our fucking
Country music listening Red Necks that prefer suburbian
lifestyle (so that they can fuck their cousins and
nephews and nieces) will not let that happen.
\_ This is a parody, right? Is this jblack?
\_ They can't fuck their cousins and nephews and nieces in
super metropolis? |
