    The road sign is indeed defaulting to cars because that’s what roads are made for

      In current-day America that is indeed the case.

      This thread is arguing that maybe that should not be the case, and is proposing alternative solutions that would be less car-brained.

      Such a “open to pedestrians only” sign already exists and is commonly used in Europe. Why can’t such a sign exist in America?

        It’s really not that complicated. Roads are for cars in the US. We don’t want cars going through that craft fair right there, therefore the road is closed.
