Oh is it a little rough in places? Smear some blue over it!




I'm sure that tube for the gutter will work



Clear marking is important



And must be moved to the correct place from where it was before



This will surely stand the test of time



Man, I wish my city has bike lanes. :911:

That's an A plus american bike lane. The storm drains slots aren't in the direction of travel, there's no other ruts in the direction of travel, and no parked cars in sight.

Kinda looks like they actually put in quite a bit of effort too, all those markings and warning poles and stuff look like they actually wanted to get it right, only it's really shoddy effort. Really mixed messaging there.

Lol the USDOT used to award grant money to road projects that included bike lanes. It’s how we ended up with all the unprotected bike lanes on the side of 45 mph downhills here.

Extinction for our time

Artillery chat reminds me of something that happened with my brother a few years ago. He works in the auction trade and has occasion to collect all sorts of oddities, including this bit of trench art made from what I think is a mortar fuse.



Now you would think the thing would be inert, which was a bad assumption. My brother, me, and some friends were sitting around a table handling it when someone set it off. It wasn't that bad, as all that happened was a relatively small amount of smoking and burning. But man was that a heart-stopping moment when it starting puffing smoke.

Been listening to "Well There's Your Problem" and it's great except the british person needs to go, and the mic volumes are never balanced, ugh it's nearly impossible to listen to like half of the episodes because of these issues, but the content is great.

I enjoyed the content of WTYP but I had to stop listening because Alice is extremely terrible, and the rest of the WYTP cast doubled down on it when people called her out.

What is even the point of this little bump? It brings it up to level with the sidewalk, but if UK bike laws are like the US's I assume you're not supposed to be biking on the sidewalk at all so it's not like an onramp. Garbage can access?

The zebra markings indicate a pedestrian crossing, so it seems like one of those raised tables that are sometimes used for crossings to help with pedestrian visibility.

Except that this one only covers the cycle lane. Which makes it rather pointless. Maybe there's a plan for a crossing there, and they'll fill in the rest when they can close the road?
