[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1542519, member: 35314"] A long long time ago, I had to spend a week working in a Milan office. You are not kidding about navigating streets in cities that were built centuries before autos were even considered possible. The majority of roads were built for horse and carriage traffic at most, very narrow, and rarely over 100 meters long before the street ends. Unlike today where the roads were built and buildings developed around them, many of these were buildings first, then roads, so very little consideration for organized roads. Parking was never a consideration And since traffic lanes are more of a suggestion than law, having a wide vehicles is a big liability. It may have changed now, but smart cars were popular not just for fuel efficiency, but because it was as long as most vehicles are wide, so you could park perpendicular in a parallel parking space. Completely different world. [/QUOTE]
