It’s not, it’s how roadway heirachy is supposed to work. You have slow pedestrian streets which are places you go, and high speed, grade separated roads which connect them along with biking and walking paths. Streets still need car access, but not fast and not as thoroughfares.
What the US has done is merged this into the stroad, which doesn’t work for anyone.
