Two-way streets are better than one-way streets
As a geographer, I often ponder what makes one city function better than another. For many years I've noticed that cities with many one-way streets seem very pedestrian and bike unfriendly. They are also difficult for those unfamiliar with the one-way patter to navigate. It sees that many cities are converting many one-way streets to two-way streets to slow traffic and allow motorists to more easily find their way around: The boom in one-way streets began with the Cold War in the 1950s, when cities planned quick routes out of town for evacuation in case of nuclear attack, says John Norquist, one of the first vocal advocates of two-way-street conversion.
