The other day we went for a drive in the mountains. We passed a sign that said 2900 feet. I thought of Mt. Everest, on the other side of the earth, which is 29,000 feet in elevation. We wouldn't be driving there.
Just because it's ten times taller doesn't mean it's better. We don't have a winner and a loser. Each has their own wonderful beauty. The only losers in this story are the eyes that can't see the beauty that's all around us.
If you're a small vehicle and you want to cross the main flow of traffic, you pretty much have to wait until there's a clear spot to go. The only other option is to get a bunch of other small vehicles who are going the same direction, the more the better. Then you all slowly but surely inch forward into the cross traffic, together. Sooner or later one of the big vehicles is going to give way, then the others going that way have to stop, then you can all cross.
