In light of rising gas prices and petroleum dependence, we must immediately transition to sustainable biofuel-powered vehicles. By which I mean

My city has started sending out traffic engineers as part of the police response to traffic wrecks. Their job is to see if the cause had anything to do with street design so that they can make streets safer. Good idea!

With gas prices going up I sometimes wonder why so few people consider motorcycles. If I lived in the burbs and had to drive 25 minutes to work, I'd consider something like a honda grom, which gets ~120 mpg and looks fun to ride And then I remember the reality of roads in the suburbs, and the political climate and identity politics. In high school I briefly rode a little motorized scooter, and basically every adult who stopped to talk to me about it called me a gaywad or little kid lol. also it was terrifying driving something that maxed out at 30mph. the speed limit on local roads was also 30 but that didn't prevent people from driving 1 inch from my bumper (which basically means I would instantly die if I fell off)

See that video about Harley Davidson floundering, for example. Or the research that shows that SUV drivers are more selfish. Combine that with how antisocial we are culturally, and some conspicuous consumption, and you get everyone driving around in monster trucks. I don't like that joke about truck drivers having small dicks, but it's absolutely true that they're trying to project something about themselves by owning their vehicles.

Harik posted:speaking of single tracking and freight priority lol, lmao they used the pandemic ridership drop to force the state to let freight trains run on the rail lines during the day. one of the big selling points of the commuter trains was that not only would they bypass traffic, but they'd just zip through crossings instead of parking for 20 minutes like freight does. Lol

if you ever look properly at the side of an out of town round (for example, if you're walking or cycling) you start to notice that there is trash everywhere. just like loads of wrappers, drinks cans, empty vodka bottles. the taint on our land of automobiles is Incredible

It's so pointless. At least cars have some utility even if it can be met more efficiently by other means

my parents are in their mid-70s, and are going from two cars to one car but the two cars were sedans, and the one car is going to be a mid-size SUV, because the SUV is easier to get into lol
