Problem

When fast through-traffic runs straight through residential areas, it cuts daily life apart, brings noise and danger, and leaves the streets fit for little besides cars.

Solution

Route fast through-traffic onto ring roads that pass around residential areas rather than through them, so the streets inside stay reserved for slow, local life.
