From this article about several cities lowering the speed limit of certain rods by 5mph.

This commenter always complains on any article about transportation.

    I’m sorry you’ve experienced so much harm because of cars. I don’t understand how there’s so much evidence showing how destructive cars are, and people still advocate for bigger cars and more lanes

    I know someone that doesn’t drive at all, he bikes everywhere even in -40 temps. And he still protests against public transport because “taxes bad”. Some people will get halfway there and still not see what benefits there would be.

      Because it’s easier to convince someone based on what they’ll lose, rather than convince them of what they have to gain.

      There are many fallacies at play when it comes to carbrain, but when you throw industry influence and political corruption into the mix, it only serves as fuel to continue this maddening dependency.

      Carbrains seem to take every critique of our car centric society as a personal attack to the core of their identity.
