There is no way to account for random real world operational impacts such as driver behaviour, weather, and getting stuck behind a caravan.
We'd all be better of if we called it a operational range metric, dropped the incorrect km unit, and used it purely as a relative value.

Not excusing their ignorance, but I will note that the top results for both quick Duck & Google searches were about slavery, racist tropes, misogyny, fat shaming, etc in the works. The automatic LLM summary only mentions her anti-trans "activism". It is unfortunate that top results obscure the truth

@biffaplays.com In your latest video you have a conflict where your new entry (blue) and your old exit (purple) are very close. If you take your old exit under your new entry (red) then they won't cause traffic issues. Although you are going to have weaving issues before that (orange).

Infrastructurist showed that if you pull the bike paths into the node then the bike pathing and crossing is better than taking it to the sides of the road; it creates a kind of super node. Although in that location a dedicated crossing may be safer and more efficient.

Make sure that trams have wide-curve radius rounded corners because forcing trams to screech around sharp turns is bad for running speed, travel times, fleet size, maintenance costs, passengers, and neighbours.

The USA owns $36 Trillion in debt and has never paid off any of their old highways. Why do people keep lending them money to build more highways they are never going to pay off? Sure you may get returns in the short term but it's in depreciating USD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMA6...
