  • Guess which one of these vehicles has a motor that prevents it from going too fast for the safety of others?

    Jump

  • No offense, but your response is classic American traffic engineer Stroad-design. "Need big wide stroad to improve peak traffic!"

  • Why the left turn lane? 15' per auto lane?

  • You've got 50' of ROW but still need more for sidewalks? 🙄

  • Right, because that truck would never be driven near pedestrians.

  • How car manufacturers killed small and efficient city cars in favor of high-margin SUVs in Europe

    Jump

  • Huh, in which city are you seeing this? The two examples given in the video are completely wrong. Paris tripled the parking cost for SUV's and has removed tons of curb parking. Similar thing going on in Belgium.

  • How car manufacturers killed small and efficient city cars in favor of high-margin SUVs in Europe

    Jump

  • Oh come on, small cars are quite available in the EU. The issue is cars in general are too expensive, which is how it should be.

    Jump

  • Sorry to gatekeep, but this video has nothing to do with fuckcars. Importing a gazillion cheap Chinese small cars would just make the situation worse.

  • The European Union is introducing new brake-pad regulations that reduce dust pollution by 27 percent

    Jump

  • Oh I see. Sometimes these thread replies get confusing.

  • Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike and ped path closed, consideration underway for a fulltime car lane.

    Jump

  • "Vote Blue no matter who!"

  • The European Union is introducing new brake-pad regulations that reduce dust pollution by 27 percent

    Jump

  • The second article you reference literally says the opposite -- that tires emit more particulate matter. Whether one is more toxic I have no idea, and I'm not seeing in the article where that is mentioned.

  • The situation in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 is out of control. A driver killed a one-year-old girl in Calgary. A few hours later, another driver killed a nine-year-old girl near Edmonton.

    Jump

  • "You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go 'according to plan'. Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all 'part of the plan'. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds."

  • California Bill SB 79 would automatically allow multistory buildings near bus stops and subway stations. Many cities, like Los Angeles, currently ban multistory housing.

    Jump

  • Note that in the case of bus stops it only applies to BRT services (exclusive bus lanes). A regular bus service would not benefit from this bill.

  • Texas and California joust for political advantage, with Trump power and US House majority in play

    Jump

  • I don't see how that is possible when the total number of NY+CA districts is only 78.

  • A 19-year old Albuquerque woman became the third employee of the city’s bicycle safety center to be killed by drivers in the last two years

    Jump

  • Here is the intersection location:

    https://maps.app.goo.gl/4uxzNMZbAVDuyrsz5

    This type of flashing yellow light does not require drivers to stop, it is just there for warning. My city has been spending (wasting) a huge chunk of its ped "safety" funds on this type of signal. It is a way to make it look like traffic engineers care about ped safety, without doing anything that would actually slow down cars.

  • IIHS: Canadian Traffic Fatalities Down 18% Over 10 Year Span, U.S. Up 33%

    Jump

  • These Canada numbers from IIHS do not match official figures at all. Over the past 10 years, Canada traffic fatalities have not decreased but have remained fairly steady at around 2000/year.

    Granted, that is still better than that of the US -- but nonetheless a poor outcome compared to other countries.

  • Seven bikes take up less space than a single SUV

    Jump

  • Get rid of the car and you'll have plenty of room in the garage.

  • Seven bikes take up less space than a single SUV

    Jump

  • I keep around a few beater bikes. If one gets stolen then oh well I'm out $75, which is less than 1 tank of gas.
