    I dislike cars generally but how is engineering traffic to be safer for all parties like the designs pictured a bad idea?

      safer for all parties

      If you were a pedestrian who had to walk through one of those designs, I guarantee you would not feel very safe.

      The problem with traffic engineering is that it’s solely concerned with vehicle traffic. Making roads safer and easier to drive on for cars actively makes them worse for everyone outside a car.

      The more people drive, the more we all die. Even if you manage to engineer an intersection where no one gets run over, it still causes hurricanes, droughts, flooding, etc. It’s all still enabling yet more bad behaviour.
