Eh I don't think lane straddling is a good idea either, if everyone zippered appropriately we wouldn't need that, and if both lanes are relatively clear we wouldn't need it either. I think driving will always suck no matter what, "safe driving" is something no one can really agree on. Not to mention there is a section of drivers who believe aggressive driving is not only acceptable, but a way to protect the ego.
I'm all on board with parking our cars I'm a giant garage at the edge of town and riding bikes everywhere. I hate driving in traffic.
This is the real solution. I spent some time in Worcester, England living with a couple there, it was so nice being able to walk to the grocery store and wherever else we wanted to go. I don't even think I had to wait at any crosswalks or anything. Now I'm living in a big sweaty American city where sidewalks aren't guaranteed.
