    Thats not priority, cars dont have a more difficult time driving in wider lanes or parking in bigger spots. None of this is any excuse for your choice to buy a big ass SUV.

      Even if we replaced all the big ass SUVs with cars we would have a lot of the same issues for cyclists, pedestrians and transit.

      The infrastructure has been built to priotize private motor vehicles over active transport or transit, zoning is done assuming everyone owns a motorized vehicle. The market has been influenced by regulations and general attitude to sell bigger SUVs and trucks over sedans.

        yes, our infrastructure does prioritize dangerous high speed motor vehicles. Im fully behind any efforts to build less car-centric infrastructure. But right now, that is something out of the average person’s hands, they do need a motor vehicle to function in society today so I cant criticize them for that. But the trend of bigger SUVs and trucks is absolutely in the average person’s hands.
