minus-squaretarsn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoDon’t worry bro it’ll only take 15 years for a 10km stretch and cost double what we estimated
minus-squaren2burns@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoEvery time I hear, “just one more lane,” this video starts playing in my head.

minus-squarebluGill@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 year agoBy the time anyone realizes a lane is needed you need 5 times as many lanes as you have to allow safe seperation between cars.
minus-squareFireRetardant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoIf at any point you need 5 additonal lanes, you don’t need lanes, you need different infrastructure
minus-squarebluGill@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoIt isn’t 5 more lanes it is 5 times. So a exurb two lane freeway starting to become crowded needs to expand to ten lanes just for safety.
