it's a very calm dead-end street with maybe 8 houses and iirc speed is limited to 30km. You can walk in the middle of the street and you would still be safe.

There was even a hoop left in the street. If kids can play basketball there, i think you can walk safely. (i walked and cycled on the street. It was raining.)

edit: i'm on "fuck cars" too. This photo isn't about cars.

Lmao the mouth-breathing rabid idiots from fuckcars are literally incapable of thinking. They just see asphalt and immediately start attacking anything in sight that moves.

I mean my message as a joke. The idea of "Desire Paths" is that you note how people work, frequently against "rules", when they simply walk around on grass. Above I disagree with @merde@sh.itjust.works's point about the safety of this street, because in my mind, if the desire path is as on the picture, then there are good reasons for it to be this case. I then go on and suggest to embrace it and not consider the street so safe maybe.

Actually re-reading my message, I think I'm wa-a-ay too aggressive and pushy. The OP just notes his opinion, and their message wasn't mandating that it's the truth and the final truth. I guess I should be more chill

my heart wants a world without cars and asphalt roads, where there's no need for sidewalks, where every path is just a desire path and a chance to bloom.

who cares?

there is one, on the residential side of the street, lining the houses, for those who need a pavement

That's probably what the urban planner who didn't put a pavement where people are clearly walking would say ;)

this may help that urban planner: It's a sound barrier between houses to the right and a road that's limited to 50kmh. Photo is taken maybe a hundred meters from the previous photo

It forces cars to slow down to navigate. A college I used to live by did the same thing.

And they're more expensive than a slight curve.

Then they’re making speed bumps wrong or price gauging lol

Speed bumps are to solve issues with existing design. Curved roads are good design to begin with and you won't need speed bumps.

Speed bumps slow me down far less than curves.

My car (small truck) is most comfortable going over bumps at 30mph... Not the 10 they expect you to slow to. At 10 you get bounced around, at 30 you get 2 separate bumps that are far less uncomfortable.

I call that really crappy design.

Curious what design the speed bumps are you refer to. Collecting the different designs and gonna find the optimal speed bump lol

Speed bumps are disproportionally less effective on vehicles with larger wheels, which is the trend for SUVs and trucks these days. So while a compact or sedan may slow down for the bump, your average pavement princess will respect the bumps as much as they'll respect speed limits around schools. Which is to say, not at all.

Seems like the park side is larger for it. The other side looks to be yards/fences, no point in giving the resident there a little extra lawn.

Desire paths Desire paths can be paths created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal foot-fall or traffic. The paths usually represent the shortest or most easily navigated routes between origins and destinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path
