    Best fix is banning large fossil fuel vehicles in heavily populated areas.

      Large vehicles period if you ask me, EVs are much heavier than ICE vehicles and can accelerate much faster.

        There are a lot of legitimate use cases for large vehicles in urban areas like construction, mass transit, and shipping.

          I count four reasons:

          • construction and repairs
          • mass transit
          • delivery of foods and goods
          • emergency services and police.

          but a lot of deliveries and repairs can be managed by cargo bike.

          Those could be special use cases driven by properly trained people with a CDL that get a pass or we could find new ways to do things, but there are a shitload of absolutely massive personal vehicles being driven around by people who don’t know wtf they’re doing and people are dying as a direct result.
