I mean, I don't disagree that streets should be used for moving potatoes and truck parts. Movement of goods is an essential component of the economy.
My problem is with the proliferation of personal vehicles on roads. A truck doesn't need 3 lanes to operate, but personal vehicles do.
I mean technically can make them more fatal as well.
It's an easy uninteresting, oft-repeated title... I don't even want to read the article as a result.
Quick guess: narrow means slower (even if just pedestrian friendly, accessible corners at intersections). Slower is safer.
Narrower lanes allows for bike lanes. Restrictions on lane use encourage more car public transit.
At some cost (combination of time and money) people will either ditch personal vehicle, or change jobs/move to escape the cost.
Threats to current car culture won't earn votes making any change hard, unless presented as safer.
I love how the article counterexamples itself in sentence 2.
