    I don’t know how other countries do it

    We don’t coddle the auto industry and let them lobby competing transportation out of existence. We’re also not hostile to alternate transportation such as bicycles.

    Here in the Netherlands I can bike to the coast in 20 minutes or I can take a 20 minute train to Amsterdam.

    That’s unreasonable

    Not in a European city.

    it’s so slow that many will probably start ignoring all speed limits, making roads more dangerous and enforcement difficult.

    That’s a nice slippery slope fallacy.
