World building

 Leah Newsom made an interesting comment about how the design of the cities say how roads are laid out is to direct some behaviors. That made me wonder if we could design an L-shaped road around a square or rectangular city and have only one-way horizontal roads. Then I came across reversible lanes. Looking at how the building communities are laid out in Japan, if each small division is self-reliant, then lot of traffic and road space can be reduced. Does reduced road space mean less fatalities? Have roads or number of lanes been increased for safety?

Looking at Turkey's roads with a lane for car parking, they must be one-way in deep residential areas. If the distance is not much, then one way should be fine. I think now I understand why we started with less space for initial houses and now we want 3 lane size roads in residential areas.

Bike Path Networks to Connect Rural Wisconsin Communities shows how when major moves are made to modes of transportation by design choices, somethign lefts to be doen for those that fall out of the reach of those choices.
