I definitely enjoyed the human scale of things during my brief time in France
(as shown in my avatar) - many U.S. roads seem more for nephilim or Brobdingnagians
than regular people. I also thought it was interesting that routiers (rover scouts)
were directing traffic - you wouldn't see that in the USA.

In some US (and CA) towns, you need a car to cross a ‘street’ (more like ‘square’
or ‘plaza’)
On the other hand, small European streets are often a pain for cars (no parking
place, easily clogged…).

To be fair, before World War II, trains were the dominant form of overland travel
in America and cities tended to be small and dense, kind of like European cities.
However, this country has grown a lot since then and new development tends to
be more centered around automobiles. Much the same is true of Canada.

Not really, if you may notice Canada doesn’t have a lot of big highways like
the states, and most of our roads are just two lane.

The same is true of the less developed parts of the United States. Big Canadian
cities tend to resemble big American cities, with a small urban core surrounded
by a large ring of low-density car-dependent suburbs.

That’s just it most of Canada’s towns are small, leading to not many big roads.
