Yes, it's very similar in Vaxjo, Sweden which claims to be the greenest city in all of Europe. I do know it has the most round-abouts! They are continually developing apartment buildings to accommodate the booming population. With all those people desiring to drive... there is never any parking. Congestion and traffic is growing exponentially.
Similar to here in Texas, by the time they widen the roads to manage traffic... there are more cars and a bigger need to do more construction. For the most part... the city planning has generally been well thought out... but I see some Texas size (big) problems coming their way in the not so distant future. I guess trial and error and tax-dollars (krona) hard at work will be the ultimate equalizer... eventually. Hey Taraz, I have a post you may consider checking out when you get a chance to do some reading. Hope the train works for you when it ends up going your way!
The traffic is definitely a growing issue, but I see self-driving cars as part of the solution to this, as it will give the ability to have private "taxis" for example, during the day when people are at work. I pay for my car 24 hours a day, drive it for maybe 1 hour. If while I was at work it could drive old ladies to the store and people to work here and there for small amounts of money, it would mean that a lot of people wouldn't need cars at all. There are massive infrastructure savings in this too, as well as being able to remove virtually all parking spaces in a city, as a person can call their car to get them, and the car in the meantime can wait in a holding hall on the outskirts.
I will come by for a read soon. I have been incredibly busy today, so it will be the first full article I'll have read - and it is 0130 :D
That is pretty incredible. I hadn't thought of all the implications of the self-driving revolution. The era of the Batmobile is truly upon us! Take your time in finding your way over to read. I know you are ALWAYS super busy man! hahaha Have a good rest and an awesome day tomorrow!
