In the future leftists want leisure activities would be paramount and "labor" would consist of like 1 day a week. During the other 6 days there would be machine enthusiasts competing with the various shops to create the "best" vehicles on land/sea/air and maybe space with various restriction imposed by the various leagues. Redesigning public infrastructure is a social solution to a social problem, i.e. if the road needs to exist then it should be designed to be safe for the society we live in and the type of traffic we have decided to allow to travel on it and it should be the best road that is possible to make. Keeping the road but just putting speed bumps, i.e. making it worse as it's function, would be a technical "solution" to the problem imposed on society by the roads existence and it's encouraged use. You absolutely see liberals push that as a solution to traffic "going too fast" through their neighborhoods. In conclusion technical solutions to social problems, aren't solutions at all, so stop suggesting them, they are cringe.

What you don't seem to realize is that you're no different from any other carbrains. All carbrains hate other cars and want to drive on an empty road where they're the only car. Wanting to go vroom vroom doesn't make you a leftist just because there would be more time for vroom vroom if people didn't have to work a zillion hours a week to survive.

Norton posted:20 years ago i drove across texas and it was a very boring drive but your post reminded me that they had tons of stupid signs all over the highway. i can't find a picture but there was one type that said "observe road signs". as if someone noticed people weren't obeying the signs so their solution was to make more signs that told people to read the other signs. i'm sure it was like a million dollars to put all those stupid things up across the entire state and there is a 0% chance they helped anyone. another good example of this is the 11 Foot 8 Bridge in north carolina. When the videos first started it had a generic "11'8"" sign with yellow lights and people would hit the beam that protects the bridge. Now they raised the bridge 8 more inches, it has a stoplight, and it has a sign that reads "OVER HEIGHT MUST TURN" that flashes when it detects a tall vehicle approaching....and people still hit the beam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpwASaUsLis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWTY2Pi1uKA

I love this loving bridge, i love it. it was even stupider than you said. - starts with an 11'8" sign, people drove into the bridge. - they added a height sensor which lit up a sign when an overheight vehicle approached. people drove into the bridge. - they add a more noticeable yellow barrier. people drove into the bridge. - THEN they added a new height sensor, which, when it detects an overheight vehicle stops ALL the traffic for 30 seconds and illuminates a huge sign right in the driver's face reading "OVERHEIGHT. MUST TURN". People drove into the bridge. - Finally they spent the money to raise the railway a bit, and people went and found themselves slightly higher boxtrucks.

Where did I imply that the road would be car exclusive? I specifically said it should be designed for the type of traffic we as a society would allow on it, maybe that means a bike exclusive road like the one in Burlington that goes along lake champlaign. I think the car brain is coming from your head, friend.

That is a type of precision driving where the absolute speed is actually the least important part as the main value add of the ambulance is that the patient is being triaged and the hospital is actually prepared to receive them. Also they are typically private companies that aren't covered by insurance,

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:As it is the cops here don’t enforce traffic laws at all anymore and every time I go out I see speed racer stuff. Last Saturday I saw some guy in a Charger shoot right across two lanes of traffic to use an on ramp + gore zone to pass at high speed. Would be nice if we didn’t sell people 400 horsepower cars to do that poo poo. My favorites are the ones who dip across 4 lanes of traffic to gain 1 car length of distance.

I have this great idea for a vehicle. It's like a car, but on rails and you can connect them together. And they go really fast. And run on electricity. And someone else drives them, and there's space for lots of people to sit. And there's WiFi.
