We've got a couple of big parking lots around he edge of the city center, and the entire center is walking / bikes / buses only, yet on nice days the streets are so crowded you can't really ride your bike in the road. Guess it depends somewhat on the city.

So something like 70% of the electricity is lost? Is that transmission losses + efficiency losses in the appliances?

Kaal posted:You could make the same argument for a skateboard or a bicycle, but those are also routinely barred from using sidewalks. Fundamentally, sidewalks are regulatorily-limited to people moving at slow speeds. If you want to go fast, then you're expected to move into the appropriate lane. Last time my dad was in the US for work, he almost go hit by a car while walking on a sidewalk. The hotel staff then told him "The sidewalks are there to make the place look European. Nobody actually expects people to use them".

Varance posted:If you're really industrious, make a different version of a test for each student. Have a set of questions that reference a picture of a particular intersection or interchange, and change the selected diagram for every student. Make said set of questions worth half the test grade. Students that blatantly cheat pretty much fail and come running to your office afterward trying to figure out why, during which time you can have some fun with them. Cheating has been an issue in the physics tests med students take here for a while, so this year they switched up the order of the answers (multiple choice) and mixed up the units used in the questions / answers so that the questions were identical but at first glance the same answer as the neighbor was wrong. The failure rate doubled.

Going back to the crossing, if the large bridge is an issue couldn't you partially sink the residential street to reduce the height of the bridge / length of it?
