Why are you playing this like a zero-sum game? Not everything good for drivers is automatically bad for everybody else.

For the sake of the argument, lets pretend the # of cars remains constant between these two scenarios.

1) they move through calmed one-way streets efficiently but at a speed averaging 35 km/h or 2) they are doing the stop-and-go thing from one traffic jam to the next on two-way streets averaging 25 km/h

I don't see option #1 being any worse than #2 for pedestrians and street life. It's certainly not a problem on Montreal's beautiful streets.

  • please be aware I used average speed, which includes stopping, not max speed. Let's say the posted maximum is 40 km/h in both scenarios.
