As far as I am aware the costs of doing this are minimal and the benefits huge. You certainly suggested in one of your posts tht the costs would be prohibitive. Maybe if you want to do it overnight but I keep stating its the dutch option - takes a generation.

I really just cannot fathom your opposition.

Do you have some numbers of what the costs and benefits are?

I *think* you might be conflating two different but related things I said. Addressing the broader environmental challenges we have will be very expensive and very painful, partly because we have dithered so long that we have to do it in a short time if we are to have any hope.

Its sad that new development isn't trying to accommodate for cycling as well. Whilst I am not sure of the suitability of redesigning our network, new planning should always consider cycling.

Huge amounts of the US has very little. Road markings as there are no people,

Yes, the rural areas are like like but there aren’t many users so it isn’t a problem. The busier areas are fine.

It's almost as if I went on to make the point right after you cropped my post....

I didn't think it was worth cluttering the thread by copying a lot of the post which was immediately above mine, when all that was required was enough to indicate which part I was referring to. I probably should have put "....." to make that clear but it's the internet and I'm not writing a formal document. I thought in fact I was responding to your point.

It's almost as if I went on to make a point right after youcropped mypost but since its right up there ∆ I can scroll up to it if needed.
