minus-squaretarsn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9·8 months agoDon’t worry bro it’ll only take 15 years for a 10km stretch and cost double what we estimated

minus-squarebluGill@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·8 months agoBy the time anyone realizes a lane is needed you need 5 times as many lanes as you have to allow safe seperation between cars.
