America is a land of drive-thrus. Here's why some cities want to ban them.
An estimated 200,000 drive-thrus are spread across this country. Americans visit drive-thru lanes approximately 6 billion times a year. At leading chains like McDonald’s, drive-thrus account for 70% of sales or more. Drive-thrus promise hungry drivers ease, convenience and a juicy burger. But long lines of cars waiting for orders spill out into US roads in every state from chains like Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, Starbucks and Dunkin.
Drive-thrus can also be hot spots for rear-end collisions and t-bone accidents from cars turning left out of driveways. Companies “aren’t paying any attention to the safety considerations of their design decisions,” said Dumbaugh. And local governments pay lip service to pedestrian safety but still permit these uses in arterial roads, he said.
