I mean, you can organise grids to be more or less stroady, and if you have too much of this going - like you have a medieval street plan - you can get the opposite thing where cars are forced through areas only suited to pedestrians, and everyone has to flatten themselves against building walls to make room.
but the point is that by not organizing it into a grid at the local level, drivers aren’t going to cut through a low speed local street, keeping those streets less polluted and safer.
actually tho, flowing windy streets and roads are so much better.
I wish, just check Atlanta - winding stroads as far as the eye can see

Less intersections where cars can crash into pedestrians or other vehicles
