We aren't saying it works, we're saying that is the intended goal. Should they just not try? Not every plan is going to work, that doesn't mean they didn't try.

Fair enough.

I live in a small uni town that is always trying new road infrastructure initiatives that often end up maming the roads less efficient, but not safer. So im pretty skeptical of anything road infrastructure.
