I have a 3 pronged plan to solve congestion issues:

1) Include evasive maneuvers to driver training like they do in Finland. People have no fucking clue how vehicle dynamics work unless they aggressively get into racing/track driving.

2) Legalize kei cars or similar ultra-small cars. Their small size reduces backups and gridlock substantially, they get great MPG, they're easy to work on, they're cheap, and they're fun as fuck to drive.

3) Give the kei cars a special lane instead of faggot bicycle bullshit. Bicycles are not transportation, cars are. This will increase the kei adoption and people will live their faggot ass pigfat faggot truck the fuck at home instead of taking up 90% of the road for no reason.

All the Boomers already figured out golf carts are the magic transport bullet, kei cars are just the minimalism of golf carts brought to a point they can actually be driven on real roads at actual speeds in varying hot/cold/rainy weather.

Why can't kei cars be the answer?

OK, so, how about instead of slow-ass sweaty-ass bicycles and stuffed-up-against-shit-stained-homeless public transit, why don't we shift to ultra small cars to handle increasing urban density? Most of the gripes of cars from public transit advocates are fuel economy/emissions, the amount of space taken, and danger to pedestrians, so why not kei cars that are super fuel efficient with low emissions, take up the space of like two motorcycles on the road or when parked, and are more maneuverable and carry less mass than a large car or truck so hypothetically should be less dangerous to pedestrians?

With kei cars, you aren't making car drivers give up their cars and ability to travel on their own schedule without being limited to 25 mph tops, but you also aren't turning cities into 50% parking lot because you can cram double if not triple the amount of cars into a kei parking lot as you can a normal lot. You can seat and transport 4 adults or easily do a grocery run with the seats folded down (on the box-style ones at least).

Why doesn't anyone proposing more efficient transportation ever take the kei car pill? They're the real answer and Japan has proven how good they are in a dense city environment.

inb4 "muh Japanese bullet train", America will never be dense enough for a high speed rail system to make sense. So what if you can go LA to SF on a train, WTF will you do when you get there with no decent transit to get around once you're there? On the flip side, a kei car can easily drive at 70 mph on the highway, even the slow ones.
