Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.

Thinking of riding a bicycle so close to others at any speed scares me a bit.

I think I’d be fine if I did it every day, heh. Cyclists in Japan are fairly nuts, but cycle infrastructure isn’t great here. Technically, only the young and elderly can ride on most sidewalks but there’s a basically-undefined carve out for “those who feel they cannot ride safely in the street” which means that nearly everyone gets on the sidewalk and nearly take out pedestrians all the time. This got really bad when uber eats first became a thing in Tokyo.
