not only the streets need to change
response to Josh Jackson, Morgan Currie, Jon Beanlands, Lou Thomas, Ralf Youtz, and Melissa Tvetan's post Decongestion
Well, here where I live in America, many pedestrians seem to think that they must own the street. They pay absolutely no attention to cars, walking the street oblivious to the fact that cars are zipping past them, and sadly, a lot of small children seem to be picking up on the same habits.
Pedestrianans will sometimes literally all walk in the street (leaving sidewalks so lonely and bare), blocking cars from getting through. When a car does try to get through, the pedestrians will only gather around the car and harass the people inside.
I'm sorry for such a long comment. I'm just saying, something in which people have to share the street with cars would be disastrous in some areas of America. Many Americans lack patience and a lot of common sense.

really?
Where exactly do you live? In my experience in the Midwest, it is the cars that drive recklessly and impatiently. Pedestrians do and should have the right of way because, let's face it, in a person-car accident, the car and people inside are not in danger. I agree that no one should be harassed because of their preferred method of transportation, but I've never seen such a anti-car sentiment.
I'd love to know where people own the streets over cars... and then I'd move there.
