CityBeautiful recently released a great video about how to fix stroads.

It's accurate, and lines up exactly with the advocacy that my wife and I were doing 10 years ago, right down to using StreetMix to redesign streets.

It's also extremely depressing and makes me glad that I don't live in North America anymore.

@notjustbikes Road Guy Rob's latest videos are about a small US city that has been making real progress in this respect ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV0x2hNRYnU ). So far he's been focusing more on how the changes have improved vehicle traffic flow, but the next video he posts will be about the town's bike infrastructure.

But the situation there is exactly as you describe: it has taken nearly 30 years of focused political will, fighting through intense pushback, just to make what progress they have. And the result is still a car-centric city, just one that is somewhat less hostile to humans.
