You presumably have posted this news article in support of this thread you started advocating the reduction/restrictions in personal automobile use (and reduction/removal of infrastructure to support that). In that, you assert that the personal use of automobiles should be replaced whenever possible by expanded public transit, bicycles, walking, 15 minute neighbourhoods, etc. You even mention a congestion tax to make it financially impractical to use a personal vehicle.

In the news piece you posted above, the traffic incident occurred in a very rural location. How does the occurrence of this particular incident support your assertions? The area is mainly agricultural, with homes and businesses widely spread apart. The space between towns is measured in 10’s of kilometres or more. How would the alternatives to traditional automobile use that you list be employed (or imposed) in a location such as this? How does the tragedy of a fatality in a car accident in a location and circumstance such as this one support your theories about personal automobile reductions and replacement with the alternatives that you outlined above?
