A street redesign costs 5-10 million (at the low end), ASE equipment costs thousands, and signs for it cost hundreds.
I'm always in favour of redesigning streets, but ASE clearly has an ongoing place in our toolchest.
Also...roads absolutely have a maintenance cost. In fact, a top regional objection to better bike infra is maintenance and repair costs...
And those road costs absolutely dwarf ASE maintenance costs, and unlike ASE provide no functional income.
