Shelby is a very car-oriented city. This is because most people - 97.1% - drive by car to work every day, and few people choose alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, cycling, or walking. In general, car-oriented communities have a layout that emphasizes streets, highways, and ease of parking, and sometimes this can be to the detriment of human-scale priorities such as walkability alongside roads, and public spaces. For example, strip malls are something you will find in Shelby.
Shelby is a relatively small city, but even so, a fairly large number of people use taxis to get to and from work. Many of these people travel out of town to the central city in the region.
