@pettter Ha, this made me realize that even this name for a very nice thing is infected with a cars-first ideology.

To be clear I'm not advocating for changing the terminology, it's too catchy and being this sanctimonious isn't practical anyway, just appreciating the irony in that.

@deshipu Even with cars you can raise the road, making cars slow down before crossings, as well as make things easier for pedestrians, as @pettter pointed out. And even in an ideal world we would likely want some roads in cities for vehicle access. @sotolf @rysiek

“Universal Design” is, I think, the not-car-related term. Some ideas are good for the whole universe of users, without reference to abilities.
