Aren't streets... designed... to be passed through?

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 43 points 3 months ago

Residential streets aren't generally intended for through traffic. They're meant to provide access to the people who live there. These are areas where kids play and people go on walks and stuff, having a bunch of cars run through trying to get from point A to point B as fast as possible is not ideal. That's why you get cul-de-sacs, intentionally designed with one way in or out, to prevent drivers from cutting through.

Makes sense, I guess. I'll probably keep doing it even though it is a bit of a dick move
