I always wonder why the West European capitalist countries have such narrow roads, when they have a history of emphasizing the hyper consumerism on cars? Compared to this, roads laid in Moscow and other cities during the Socialist era in USSR and East Europe, were all at least 6 lanes, many of them are 8 lanes and some of the ring roads are even 10 lanes(not the highways, just the inner city roads).

Why reason?

[@MohanDolla]

The answer lies in your question itself. They did not build wide roads because they did not need them that time. Just digging a bit deep into the history, it will tell you why. UK and Western Europeans nations especially France, Netherlands, Belgium were the first ones to have seen the explosion of knowledge via Physics, Chemistry and Biological Sciences and started creating wealth some 400 years ago. Those times the cities of London, Paris and Brussels were ahead of their time by 200 years. Those narrow roads were more than sufficient for horse traffic. These cities were not built for four wheelers in both directions. Cars were invented in late 19th Century and became common mode of transport somewhere during WW1 and WW2. So thats the answer.

@@MohanDolla Hmm yes. I recall playing Assassins creed games. The city of Florence was just like that for a reason. Even still, St. Petersburg in Russia, which was built by Peter the Great in 1703 which is comparatively newer than many west European cities, was generally wider since its inception, as it seems when we look at the historical roads. Maybe having everything wider and spread out, is a culture in Russia since the old times.

@@morningstararun6278 Yeah, Russians must have tried something better than Western Europe. Definitely Russians deserve accolades for this. Actually Russias contribution to Physics and Chemistry were downplayed by Western Sphere of influence. I always admire Russia for their contribution to Science, literature and culture.

[@NinaGuth-hg5eh]

Wow...really fancy area...hey,I noticed there are no "speed limit" signs all over the place,like here in the states.I either don't recognize the signs or people there actually know how to be responsible when driving..Well done gang,thanks for the " look- see"!!

[@trainman665]

Over here we have something called the ‘Highway Code’, which is the rules of our roads. In this it states that if there are no speed limit signs, but there are lampposts along the road, the speed limit is 30mph. Therefore 30mph signs are technically redundant for a lot of places around London.

[@NinaGuth-hg5eh]

I thank you for taking the time to explain that to me.
