_The Evening Post_, 21 June 1924:
PUSH-CARTS AND TRAMS
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—Half-past two, and just about to board a tram to town, a conductor called out to me: “Madam, you cannot lake your push-chair on this car.” Well, Mr. Editor, rather than take a ride to town on business and leave my push-chair at any old place, I decided to return home. Tramway authorities in #Wellington want to wake up and adopt the Christchurch system of collapsible carriers fitted to the trams for this purpose. Failing this, will they publish measurements of chairs allowed on trams?—l am, etc.,

More lanes does not equate to better traffic,
especially in an urban or even suburban environment.
In reality, people and their movements complex: streets that are flexible are more efficient than streets that prioritize straight-ahead movement over every other movement.
Some people need to #turn left and some people need to #cross the street, and some people are #walking, and some people are #biking, and some people are in #wheelchairs, and some people have #strollers, and some people are making #deliveries
️Having too many travel lanes makes these non-straight-through movements slower and much more dangerous.️
For example, this is why NE 65th Street in Seattle 
can now move 5% more vehicles after SDOT reallocated nearly 25% of the street space to create protected bike lanes and safer crosswalks.
People can turn left now, which makes it a better street to drive on. 
They reduced speeding by up to 75%, reduced collisions by 63%, and eliminated serious injuries and deaths.
And they did all this while moving more people in cars and dramatically more people biking, walking and rolling.
This is not a “last resort” solution, it’s a common sense solution that is backed by data rather than feelings.
