Road design, transportation and walkability

[tomh009]

Personally, I don't think keeping roads at two lanes will have any significant impact on climate change. If we want to (significantly!) reduce vehicular emissions, we need to bump up carbon pricing (or gas taxes). By a lot. A bit of congestion won't have a significant impact on people's choices, and it also impacts transit and commercial traffic.

That being said, yes, the carbon tax should increase significantly (and simply be paid out per capita, with no special deals for anyone).

What do you mean by "simply paid out per capita?" Are you referring to the refunds (to individuals) of the collected carbon tax? Or something else?

(This discussion should maybe move over to urban planning ... )
