Toronto is getting a massive regional rail improvement that sounds pretty great: https://youtu.be/_XOXAY3rPzk They're actually using European companies who know what they're doing for everything. They're getting more frequent service and it is supposed to be faster than driving under typical conditions. It sucks that we will absolutely never get anything like this in the us.

This is a good thread. Clearly shows the acceptance of delays to pedestrians and the absolute avoidance of delays to drivers in traffic planning. https://twitter.com/KostelecPlan/status/1014905748545888256?s=20&t=qDr-cXzc5q43gQ9_X_Qcgg

upsidedown posted:This is a good thread. Clearly shows the acceptance of delays to pedestrians and the absolute avoidance of delays to drivers in traffic planning. I ended up looking around some places in the UK on google maps/streetview and it's interesting how despite being fairly car-centric and having a relatively bad reputation for cycling infrastructure, it seems way better than the us simply by not having so many absolutely crazy stroads? I don't know if this depends on the area, but where I was looking, it seems like almost all roads are at most one lane in each direction until you get to either major arterials without any houses/stores along them or actual restricted access highways. There still isn't the same level of clear bike routes or clear separation of car/pedestrian/bike traffic like in the Netherlands, but it still seems pretty different from the insane situation in the US where it's as if everything that isn't purely a dead end residential street has to have at least 4 lanes nowadays. So even if it's not amazing, you still don't get the situation in the US where it's basically physically impossible to walk to a store because it's right across a high speed 4 lane road. This sort of fits with what I have been thinking about Japan, specifically that it's pretty interesting that despite having almost no dedicated bike infrastructure it achieves a pretty high level of bikeability just by being designed for more walkable, not having euclidean zoning, and most roads that aren't toll highways or arterials being insanely narrow. It's really crazy that the US and a few other countries that copied it have managed to fairly uniquely design themselves into this nightmare while so many other places have avoided it mostly accidentally despite being so car centric (which means for the other countries it will probably be much easier to fix if they want to). mystes has issued a correction as of 14:45 on Apr 26, 2022 |

I drove on the highway heading south of the Twin Cities last weekend. It's a four lane highway with a grass median, where it alternates between limited access (on/off ramps) and at-grade intersections. The speed limit is 65 mph but everyone was going 70-80 mph. What absolutely poor road design lol.

Incidentally a good example of it being impossible to fix anything is State Street in Springfield, MA, which was featured as literally the first example in the book by the Strong Towns guy. There's a parking lot directly across from the public library, and because the nearest crosswalk is out of the way, people end up dashing across a 4 lane road and there have been a bunch of deaths. After someone died before, the Strong Towns guy even wrote a whole letter to the town about why this was unsafe and they didn't do anything. Now after a librarian was run over last year they're finally looking into trying to make it more safe. It's just crazy to me. It's a public library, there are obviously going to be parents crossing there with kids constantly. If you MUST have a 4 lane road there, why would the default still not be to have a light for pedestrians to cross? Why do you need multiple pedestrian deaths before you can even consider doing something and otherwise you just have to maximize for car speed as much as possible? It just makes no sense. I guess schools are literally the one place where engineers are actually allowed to make concessions to slowing traffic down by default but why wouldn't the same thing apply at the very least to other places where you would expect lots of pedestrians including kids like parks, libraries, etc.?

If they add an RRFB they literally would have been better off not narrowing the road on the one block and just adding a real light. mystes has issued a correction as of 15:07 on Apr 26, 2022 |

I have to do this every day and I hate it. It's a very in-town area, but a major street cuts through it and there are no mid-block crosswalks. The city can't do much about it because it's technically a state highway.
