Get rid of most cars and we no longer need traffic signals, reclaim the public property we lost to streets.
I'm a huge fuck-cars believer and live carefree but no matter how you slice it we'll need traffic lights.
Cycling in pure anarchy also blows.
Not all vehicles will be replaced so we need lights.
Roundabouts enter the room
Roundabouts are more pedestrian unfriendly. I'd rather have stop lights.
Just like traffic lights, roundabouts can have zebra crossings too. It's not much different than traffic lights
I'm aware of how roundabouts work thanks.
Cars don't stop in roundabouts. They're made for cars. Drivers don't pay enough attention to pedestrians when in motion. They never have.
Traffic lights stop the 2 ton killing machines. Roundabouts do not.
Roundabouts are strictly worse. Traffic lights are better because they inconvenience drivers more and there's nothing more important than inconveniencing drivers.
