It was chaos because we did little very preparation (for example, public transit still had its doors on the left so people were getting off buses and the like in the middle of two lanes of traffic).

And we have lots of intersections at angles to reduce the grade. Those, unlike a square grid, are a little harder to switch to driving on the opposite lane so we’re still left with intersections in the core where a left turn is almost 360 degrees or there’s no real line of sight, etc. lol

Fascinating. I mean that without hyperbole too. What a niche it is to be interested in the layouts of irregular street patterns.
