Top tier quality stuff, mate. Thank you for putting these things in a neutral way that makes them much more approachable to everyone. My biggest fear about these things in my own country is that people think insisting on better public transit and road infrastructure is something someone from one party or the other would do. So seeing examples of how to present these topics in a neutral way like in your videos helps me have these discussions in my life in a more effective way as well 🤗
Highways should never be widened at all and the money spent on that should be diverted to public transit. Ramp meters and tolls at peak times could be implemented to help reduce congestion as well
In the U.S. is easy to fix transport in suburbia, just add tram lines in the 1x1 mile grid of collector (st)roads and stations near crossings, if the city budget isn't enough for that, then BRT lines. If budget is sufficient, also change the crossings to roundbounts, then maybe we could make more deep changes
It’s not easy to add a concise and helpful transit line in sprawling american suburbia but what I’ve learned is that the only option we have is to mainly keep regular buses out of the crazy mazes and use dial-a-ride zones to get riders as fast as possible out of the labyrinth and to a transit stop
If the US stops navel-gazing and studies how north-western Europe has built its infrastructure and adopts their solutions, it will have come a long way.
I think the United States needs to privatize the interstate system by doing so the country no longer has to pay to maintain them and it fixes the electric car problem where they don’t pay road taxes on gas. It would also make the interstate a nation wide toll road which would pay for itself and speed limits would be able to be raised because a private road typically has better maintenance. This is how the autobahn in Germany has no speed limit and is way smoother than the American interstate.
Much of this organization is different in Virginia and North Carolina. The state owns all roads in outside municipal limits. Within cities, the state still owns all major roadways. There are no county roads (save two urbanized counties in VA). Majority of yhe safety concerns inside cities are on the state roadways, so cities still have to go back to the state for traffic safety improvements, whether through state budget amendments or encroachment agreements.
I do not like using Hoboken as an example of holistic traffic safety management. Not that what they did deserves great praise, but most jurisdictions are just not built like them. Hoboken is very small and has no major highways. It takes advantage of highways in the nearby cities and shifts all the responsibilty of major traffic safety concerns to other jurisdictions.
If you're already 14 lanes wide and you still don't have enough capacity, maybe it's time to invest in buses and trains instead. Have the city spend some time figuring what the most common routes are, and build transit around those routes.
In my country 🇧🇬 they made a 4 lane boulevard into 2 lanes with park spaces and two lane bike lane. Then people made a protest because "ambulances couldn’t go trough traffic"…
@@RealConstructor on a Not Just Bikes video it also said that in emergencies when theirs traffic, the ambulance, firetruck, or police car can just go on the bike lane if it is wide enough.
It really TURNS Me Off when you stick your commercials in the middle of your videos! You have a lot of Great ideas & I like your videos but this will make people STOP watching! The commercials are deceiving because at first we think they are part of what you are trying to say. Then we realize it is just an add. If you need adds in your videos DON"T be Deceptive! Just Say this is my sponcer, so their is NO deception involved! I can only Hope that you Rethink How you do your Videos. I like your content Not Your Deception!
Public transport in the US is 23 times safer than driving a motor vehicle when it comes to fatalities. So I don’t think you have an argument here. Despite the 23 times more chance of a fatality, people still step behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. So why not use the much safer public transport?
@@RealConstructor They’re not talking about traffic accidents, they’re talking about sharing transportation with other people they don’t like makes them feel unsafe.

I love your videos man keep up the great work
A long video! Finally after multiple shorts!
We finally have a face behind the voice! 🎉

streetcraft i love you please dont die
If the roads don't change, he might
I want to say that he is not suicidal or deadly sick.
I love your simple visuals they are so satisfying
Seeing the rural adaptations of roundabouts is nice, since most other urbanism channels focus on urban cities.

Wonderful, great video! Thank you for posting
you're the first person ive heard mention the SS4A grant.
litterally makes my day when you upload
Thank you Streetcraft for making a video on how to craft streets.
My college town made the roads better for semi trucks, it's lead to the decline of Maine street and accidents. I got in one, they used to be one ways
I love the fact that Jordan Peterson had a meltdown on a news post about the Hoboken death rate
Glad to see that someone realizes that people don't just live in cities
Add one more extra lane, and that sure will fix it.
i act said loudly “yes street craft” when i seen that u posted
New Streetcraft video day is always a good day
"Peanut shaped roundabout" = Dogbone roundabout
I just saw a menstrual pad
LET'S GO, AMAZING NEW VID!!!!!!!!!

Love how you jump right into the content of the video, amazing work!
Meanwhile in Toronto. The Ontario premier announced his intention to build a sixty kilometre underground expressway below the 14-lane 401 expressway.
I've seen a lot of backlash about this project ideally it doesn't go through

@@ant8504 There’s no way. I think he was spitballing / trolling.
Another great video! What software do you use for the visuals over the roads?
Bro what,no intro,suddenly the solution
I love your videos!!

Then change one lane into an emergency lane and the problem is solved.

Apparently they do it in the netherlands

Wow! I never realized that intersections are so safe! According to the video, 60% of all traffic accidents do *not* take place in an intersection. 😉

Public transit is great but it’s not safe. Until we find ways to enforce laws and keep it safe no one will use it.

@@RealConstructor They’re not talking about traffic accidents, they’re talking about sharing transportation with other people they don’t like makes them feel unsafe.
@@RealConstructor It’s crime. When we drive we expect accidents to happen but our public transit should be free from criminals.
00:45 the problem is too many people in too small an area lol
