In a thread in AI a bunch of people were arguing that speeding was safe and necessary because can you imagine NOT keeping up with traffic going 30 mph over the speed limit? that would be so dangerous!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbqNUqdZlwM Good video. I want really small streets where I live. Streets that look more like secret paths. Had this really messed up thought. What if the reason we are starting to see a sort of end of car-concentric living is due to baby boomers collectively becoming too old to drive and are transforming the usa, yet again, to fit their needs and wants. mazzi Chart Czar has issued a correction as of 23:22 on May 20, 2022 |

Fitzy Fitz posted:It was really nice of the city to make our buses fare-free, but they're still not going to get much ridership when routes stop at 6 pm and some routes only run once an hour. I really try to take the bus but it constantly screws me. there’s a bus route on my commute i could use but the service is so irregular I walk the entire route (first to last stop) instead. even if the drat gps tracking or live ETAs worked I could at least use it SOMETIMES but they can’t even get that working.

mazzi Chart Czar posted:Enjoyable cities. Thriving Cities edit: some actual content for thread Denver's Department of Climate Action, Sustainability & Resiliency (man what a loving mouthful) launched a straight-up $400 cash rebate for any resident buying an e-bike in the city. Plus more for those with low income or for cargo bikes. https://www.denvergov.org/Governmen...Bikes#section-2 https://coloradosun.com/2022/05/13/denver-e-bike-rebates-popular-climate-change/ It blew through it's budget in like 19 days (too soon for me to get around to actually using it) but it got me thinking and my wife & I are gonna sell our second car and get some e-bikes!

I'm sure this person cares deeply about people who can't walk, and isn't just using the existence of disabled people to preserve their comfortable status quo.

also this one: https://abcnews.go.com/Business/tesla-autopilot-steered-driver-barrier-fatal-crash-ntsb/story?id=68936725 quote:The driver who died after his Tesla crashed into a highway barrier while using autopilot had previously complained about the system aiming him towards the same barrier, according to newly released documents from the National Transportation Safety Board. Car brain makes you use the autopilot in the spot where the autopilot has tried to kill you enough times that you knew that you could reproduce it for family so that you can play your games

mystes posted:Yeah like those speed limits in school zones, everyone knows that kids would be safer if you drove through them at 100mph Acutally the only correct answer is that there are no public roads near schools in the first place. If you drive your child to school your are an unfit parent. Get this liberal bullshit "school zones" idea out of here and shut down all roads that border a school, to start with.

This is the kind of poo poo that teenagers believe.Speed limits are routinely "too low" relative to how wide and straight the roads are, but this has nothing to do with police ticketing people, and everything to with:
Police absolutely do not need speed limits to issue tickets, you can go to any busy suburban intersection and see dozens of moving violations in an hour. They do primarily enforce speed limits because it's easy.

heated game moment posted:In a thread in AI a bunch of people were arguing that speeding was safe and necessary because can you imagine NOT keeping up with traffic going 30 mph over the speed limit? that would be so dangerous! Absolutely. Slow/safe drivers are unironically responsible for road rage and at the end of the day they're deluding themselves because there's nothing you can do to make driving safe.

I have a hard time believing speed limits are set for revenue generation in an era when the cops don't pull anyone over for anything. At least around here. Do 100mph all the way out to the airport if you want. Treat the parkway like your own personal Nurburgring, if you'd like. They'll come clean up the mess after you smear yourself (or someone else), but up until that point you aren't getting pulled over.

Right turn on red is just an American thing, right? Like jaywalking. As a Texan pedestrian, I rarely see any driver slow down for pedestriaslns at a crosswalk. Maybe 1 in 30 will actually stop to let someone pass. mazzi Chart Czar posted:Had this really messed up thought.

I mean there's a fun and most importantly equitable way to do it cameras logging the times license plates go past them and then billing you if you cover the distance between them too fast, a bunch of European countries do it.
