gently caress cars. gently caress that half the drivers on the road are elderly idiot motherfuckers that have lead poisoned brains and can't do two things at once.

Specifically gently caress the driver and single occupant of the massive SUV that pulled out blindly from a parking garage to nearly hit me and a few other pedestrians.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Probably lucked up hitting that car before the tree first.

it's the main shopping street in Bordeaux. Almost their entire old town center is pedestrianised, they have trams with dedicated ROW, a pedestrianised waterfront, and the areas which are being newly developed also have good ped access. Car parking is partially kept off street in (expensive) parking underneath the squares.

i guess he got the lane clear, but it turns out the guy has 10k in unpaid traffic tickets too and is still somehow allowed to drive. clearly the system works

yeah, even the most gentle request can elicit insane over the top fury, and touching someone's precious car makes a lot of people feel like they have cart blanche to respond however they see fit. definitely signs of a healthy society

I guess stuff like this is supposed to be good, but look at how loving complicated it is. The more complex the design gets the more obvious it is that we're not addressing the real issue.

The curbs are nice but will not stop or even delay some raging moron in a brodozer. There's a curb setup like that near me where a highway offramp joins a residential street to "traffic calm" and it's covered in black tire marks from people hitting it at 60mph.

Just throw your bike on people yakuza style if they go in the back and grab something and hide it in their shirt. Its why bikes are aluminum now.

We have one particularly dangerous mid-street crosswalk here, so the city installed a bank of red flags that pedestrians could grab and wave as they cross the street. Absurd measures just to make walking possible.
