  • "You have places (theme parks, resorts, commercial areas and other destinations) that are connected by roads. Those roads accommodate fast moving cars, buses, monorails and even travel by boat. Internal to each of those places are networks of streets -- largely devoid of cars but, where cars are present they are slow moving and pedestrian-compatible -- that provide access to these places and support a complex environment."
