    Yeah, I don’t get that point either. Just as cul-de-sacs, one-way streets are a great way to prevent through-traffic in a neighborhood. But then again, I’m not from the US, so maybe it’s just because our streets are designed differently.

    Where I’m from, most one-way streets are single lane, 20 or 30km/h and allow cyclists in both directions. Emergency vehicles usually don’t have a problem with them, as they can drive through them in the wrong direction anyway.

    Many cul-de-sacs also allow cyclists and pedestrians through, acting as a modal filter. If I understand the video correctly, they also don’t have a problem with the cul-de-sac itself but with the stroad it is connected to. So just fix the stroad, then.
