    Lol no. They don’t improve traffic and kill people. Don’t act smug because you don’t understand urban street design. There are very good reasons why so many cities are considering removing these.

    But even if it was true, the old “my commute is worth more than your child’s life” argument doesn’t hold water.

      I haven’t owned a personal auto for 12 years, my commute is dictated by how fast I walk. And I’m tired of things being designed to cater to the dumbest among us. Look both ways before you cross the road. Know where you’re going and how you’ll get there before you begin your trip.
