    Hot take: Rural drivers shouldn’t get a say in how urban roads are designed

    It’s not their city. They don’t live in it. They can stay in their town if they don’t like it

      Is it not crazy to think that people in rural areas also enjoy the city and go to urban areas? It’s still the same country.

        As visitors though. I don’t think their needs are irrelevant, but they shouldn’t carry as much weight as the daily users’

          So the inhabitants of small towns driving daily to work to the next city get a say? I don’t know about Switzerland, but in my area these are a considerate amount, if not the majority of cars in smaller cities. Most don’t need a car living in the city, but you cannot commute into the city without in most cases.

            Would you consider someone who uses the road daily as a daily user?

            If so, re-reading my comment will provide a solution.

          Not sure it’s visiting necessarily if it’s their nearest urban center, as then it would be their main source of a lot of stuff so it’s theirs too.
