@F4682-v6s This is not about prefernces, this is about not polluting other people or even make them sick. Or would you agree that I can run a chain saw under your windoe 24/7 just because it's my preference? )And if your answer is yes, you should go see a doctor!)

The Vegas Loop can actually carry less than a single lane street. It's a glorified taxi stand, so you can't have street level traffic because people are constantly crossing the "street". (It's a stroad really.) Also nobody explained to me what happens to the people in the cars in the tunnel if the taxi stands for 10 cars (3 of them and you need ~100 cars for the theoretical capacity) are full. Are they looping infinetely?

@F4682-v6s One car. But there is never only one. The chainsaw is actually better because it is one level and not getting a bit more or less louder every 2 seconds.

@brotlowskyrgseg1018 Or you could simply replace the taxi fleet with buses. Double capacity for 1/10th of the cost. Of course it would be less cool and probably downright Unamerican to say that!

@andrewouss We have 2 keys for our car. Use the second (in the lock, when the battery was low) and there is a 30% chance the alarm goes off. Does not happen with the first key.

You are free to use a loud engine in the appropriate environment for it.

@udishomer5852 That depends on what you do with the wood. Putting aside that a lot of the "wood" in the US (at least for modern multi-family buildings like five over ones) is not mainly wood but oil... if you use wood right, you have a very good house on all those topics. They once tested the Great Hall of the Chinese forbidden city. Biggest pillarless (in the center) wood structure in the world. The model didn't had any troubles until the earthquake was somewhere in the 7 (Richter) and survived I think until 9.1 (the worst their shaking plate could do) still standing (most of it). Bricks in contrast are bad with earthquakes because they are so rigid.

@NotJustBikes That sounds like they still use the old "Tatra" trams O.o (US name would be PCC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_T3 US equvalent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCC_streetcar

In some o those places (especially India) I always wonder why they bother with honking. You couldn't make out who it was that honked to you in all the other honks.

Even in the literal middle of Tokyo a lot of the backstreets are eerily quiet, because they are so small there are practically no cars. If it weren't for the lack of wind and animal noises you would think you were in some tiny village in the godforgotten mountains.

They don't count as traffic.

9am is one thing. Working hours start at 7am generally, and of course they never do all the greens around you at once, but during a whole week.

Oh yes! Death sentences to those people! In America, I there there are some "you can shoot if you feel threatened" places. Surprisingly that sounds appealing suddenly.

But it's still right for slow moving EVs - under 20km/h you can't really hear them (not in wind or if you have any hearing problems). And 20 as a speed limit is really too low. Even for cars, not only bikes ;)

I guess it's still the result of leaded gas.

No, it's illegal but it will not get you fined. The same goes for "letting the engine run without reason" btw. (And I am not even counting those who let their climate run for 5 minutes with the car standing and engine running to cool down the car when it was in the summer sun, instead of just driving with windows down for the first five minutes.)

You are the first person that described Venice as "peaceful" in the last decades. The city is (before Covid) totally overcrowded, especially if an abomination called criuse ship is there, towering over every single house.

@mdhazeldine I was there just a few years later. Maybe you were outside the touristy times? I guess in winter it's not that bad. But in summer holiday time you barely have time to look at any building because you have to watch out for the people to not bump into them - at least on the main "roads." It certainly was the most crowded city place I ever was in besides a Christmas market.

Because they lived in car infeted town too long and got half-deaf, yes. But the main problem here is having a mix of foot and wheel traffic.
