Driving demand is only suppressed when there are suitable alternatives. A bike is not a suitable alternative for many for most trips. Car service is too expensive for most. So the only real alternative is improved mass transit. But new lines are too expensive and no one wants to build them. So the only choice left is to improve bus service.Mostly that means more frequent service. But no one wants to provide that because it costs money and during off hours when many choose to drive, it is very inefficient to provide frequent bus service. So your idea of suppressing driving demand is nonsense. And your ridiculous example of a 55 mph speed limit on city streets is well just ridiculous because city streets were not meant for that speed. But arterials were designed for 35 and 40 mph, not 25 mph as de Bozo made them. Equally ridiculous is rebuilding a highway at 70 mph design speed, but only allow 50 mph so you can summons those who are driving safely just to raise revenue. |
