ITT: People who've never done any research on this issue making very American conclusions.
Confusion about how these roads work is actually good. It may seem paradoxical at first, but easy to understand roads with ample signage actually breed high speeds, congestion, complacency, and dead pedestrians. Many dangerous intersections have found that removing signage and leaving it up to drivers drastically reduces speeds and improves safety.
Mentally taxing roads slow cars down, make people take alternate routes, and force people to look for pedestrians. You can't juggle your Starbucks and your iPhone when you're navigating unfamiliar roads - AND THAT IS GOOD.
The purpose of a city is not to breed cars, nor is it to allow lazy car drivers a chance to justify their miserable commute.
I mean what, if the drive to work sucks people might just find work closer to home, or lobby for public transportation. Who wants that?
