@CallumInLothian@Gachatard_005 Parking lot criticism is 100% fair. A parking deck solves this. College football stadiums, NBA, hockey, and some MLB stadiums are much better integrated into cities and walkable areas
@CallumInLothian I canโt even count how many times I have walked to a bar and had a beer after watching a sporting event. Incredibly normal activity. Correct though our rivals are usually a few hour drives away.
@Chelsearory American CFB fans will literally storm the field, uproot their own field goal posts, march it through the city, and throw it into a river, just to be told they โhave no soulโ
@OfficialC98 Think Iโm losing my mind cause I keep seeing this type of comment then a picture of a European stadium and Iโm like, โyeah man looks like a stadium ๐โ seriously what are you people talking about
@Simon_BG@NathanielGivens Thank you. Only argument you can make is that it adds more congestion for people that would exit premerge, but that also assumes everyone exiting before the lane ends get in the right lane, or else we have to have multiple zippers to get everyone off at every exit
@NathanielGivens What lanes get used has nothing to do with the flow capacity and overall cars/minute that can move!! The bottleneck is the same. Zipper merge each lane goes 1/2 the speed, but the length of the congestion is 1/2 as well. Fo you want to drive slower or be in traffic for more miles
@thejohnpeterson lane, or we have perfect communication so any premerge exiters in the left lane can merge to the right with another zipper merge at their exit. Maybe self driving cars will figure this out.
@thejohnpeterson The only argument would be you increase the length of traffic being backed up further, so people that need to exit the highway before the merge do have to wait longer and that adds time for everyone. But that assumes either everyone knows they need to exit and get in the right
