      Roads are a lot more flexible though. Tractors also use roads for example. As to bicycles and pedestrians.

      Note that the above is about very rural areas where seeing 4 of the above per hour on any stretch is busy. As you start scaling up density it makes sense to separate uses, and trains quickly become the best option for various reasons.
