Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says : urbanplanning

Fricking bike cucks.

If closing down road lanes doesn't cause any more demand, why limit this to bike lanes? Just turn every 4-lane into a 2-lane and we can find other uses for that land.

This bullshit of increased capacity on the roads actually putting more cars on the road is one of these things where you have to be educated into being this r-slurred. Any normal person with any common sense can think of themselves. Have you ever just decided to stay home because you wanted to avoid traffic? When people go somewhere in a car, usually they have a darn good reason for it and it's not just a joyride.

Implementing bike lanes at the expense of transit users is an equity issue and imo poor governance.

In Toronto, the city recently released a report looking at a section of ... thoroughfare where it installed bike lanes ... It compared traffic from a period before the lanes were added... with the same period one year later, and found "average increases in motor vehicle times ... from [DOUBLE] eastbound and [TRIPLE] , depending on the time of day and the direction of travel."

Imagine my surprise

But Saxe said those findings are misleading.
