Yes, because your motor vehicle licensing and registration fees cover all of the costs of building and maintaining roads (news flash, it covers basically nothing and the government pays for the other 99%).

This is the same thing as complaining about bikers on sidewalks. They are only doing it because there doesn’t exist safe/convenient/clear infrastructure to ride in the correct direction. The solution is not wishing upon a star for people to behave better, but to build proper infrastructure so people don’t have to break the rules just to preserve their safety.

Reply to Bus trips on north Mass Ave faster, more consistent with bus lanes by IntelligentCicada363
Great outcome but it boggles my mind the amount of resources put into “studies” and “research”. Like yea if you add a bus lane no shit it will run faster. That’s like saying “if you have less traffic, you can drive faster”. Imagine if the money spent doing these studies was just put towards construction of actual infrastructure.
