Taz Loomans articulates it much better than I can HERE.
Quote:
The arterial roads in Phoenix, for example, are on average about the size of highways in other parts of the country and the world. Sometimes an arterial in Phoenix is 7 lanes wide, with three lanes going either way and a middle turn lane. This ample room for cars ensures that cars move along the roads very fast.
Sounds good right? Well, not if you want your city to be people-oriented instead of car-oriented... A people-oriented city, on the other hand, is about creating spaces for people to walk, bike, stand, sit and gather in the public in ways that are safe and enjoyable.

I wasn't, admittedly familiar with Taz as I'm sure others are. But I caught up to her on her way out of town HERE.
