Lives is priceless. Both metraphorically and literally. For too we treat car crashes as if they’re a colletaral damage to human civilization and progress. Most humans react to environmental stimulus and incentives and by relieving the road from the monopoly of motorised traffic, we make our urban space safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable.
Most of us live in dense urban environment and are unhappy. By completing our daily trips to work, school, shopping, and socialise (which 80% of them are under 3 miles), we get exercise without even knowing it. When they add up, we are more happy and fit and save our heroic NHS from extremely tight resources.
Our public finance is worst than ever. By rebalancing our precious road space we save us billion of pounds by not having to subsidise private car owners, speed up essential and business journeys and saves money.
Car ownership is expensive – by designing the society in a way the practically allows only those who can afford an expensive private means of transportation to participate in the community is sinful.
