Road design, transportation and walkability

[danbrotherston]

There are many reasons that MUTs are mediocre, we've discussed them at length here, we don't need to rehash it every time, but in this case I even mentioned some of the problems, so I'd appreciate the courtesy of not minimizing issues like you are with your comment.

As I understand it, your main issue with MUTs is pedestrian-cyclist conflict, but in this case it's unlikely to be a major issue. And a MUT has significant physical separation, better than an on-street bicycle lane. So I'd appreciate the courtesy of not dismissing my question out of hand like you are with your comment.

That isn't my main issue with MUTs, others actually care much more about this issue than I do, in many cases I have argued that the ped conflicts on MUTs aren't a big deal in areas like this, I even pointed out that the Netherlands has many MUTs.

I also agree that the separation with traffic is good.

But intersections are generally awful, with some intersections instead being down right dangerous. A MUT going through a highway interchange with slip lanes is almost certain to have dangerous intersections.
