    Cars are used like boats: They are a fun hobby but not one that you expect to bring everywhere. They are only used by people who want to use them; everything else is provided for with superior public transit and walkability. Like boats, there are some places where cars make sense; very rural places for instance, or for recreation.

    Speed limits are abolished, instead roads are designed for the speed that should be permitted. Urban streets will be very narrow and hard to drive in, rural roads will be fun and twisty, and freeways are now only for the least dense areas. Drivers are required to pass much more thorough licensing exams and are rechecked every 5 years.

    Bicycle infrastructure is as extensive as it is in the Netherlands, and parking minimums are abolished.
