Walkable cities cannot be replete with one-way three-lane streets. Drivers typically see such streets as an extension of the highway or freeway.

Add to this that so many American city urban centers are going through (or hope to) a renaissance. That necessarily means growing pedestrian activity.

But it also means coming to terms with post-WWII traffic design. People in crosswalks and speeding cars on wide one-way streets don’t mix.

I’m delighted to see San Diego converting several downtown roadways from three to two lanes. It’s not perfect but it’s a start.
