Here is an idea for complete streets: between an interstate entrance/exit, shopping mall, major road, lets put in only two crosswalks (none across the high speed right turn lane) and lets save some money on paint and not put in the zebra stripe for the crosswalk (at least per Google Street View.) This is a fine example of car centric design.

I am totally speechless on this one, does being in a car distance you that much from reality and the potential harm you can do?
