That’s like saying “I’m pro-life and anti-gun control”.

Oh. Wait.

Edit: Guy confirmed that he is, indeed, pro-life and anti-gun control.

    I’m anti bike lane. Roads should be for bikes and pedestrians. Cars should get their own single separated lane on the occasional road.

    Bike lanes are car infrastructure. They are not needed unless you consider the entire street to be for cars by default.

    Also dave is an idiot. Maximum capacity would be a cycle and transit only street because those have the highest throughput per lane. Cars are incredibly space inefficient.

      Slight disagreement there. Streets are for pedestrians and bikes and trams and the occasional car (in a dedicated car lane). Roads (as in large arterial roads in very limited areas, meant for fast travel between faraway zones when trains are inconvenient, or highways between cities) can be considered as intended for cars, and even those should have pretty good space dedicated to bike lanes and pedestrian sidewalks.

        Given that a car is a priviledge in most (all?) of the world, I’d argue there should be absolutely zero car-only infrastructure because it creates second class citizens for which some parts of the street are inaccesible.

        Think of it this way, would you support the creation of a sidewalk in which only people who own a 50k ring can go?
