and how just by buying gas you are automagically a ‘more important’ road user than anyone else.
i get that as a general optimisation, the avg speed of vehicles should be considered from a routing perspective.
but its been entirely normalised that cars are "important" and everything else is inherently secondary to them. which is ofc pure bs, but most people assume it by default.
It’s no accident it happened this way, car companies yet bribed officials to make everything but driving a car illegal, re: jwalking and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the human race
