This forces the bicycle path directly in front of the drivers view. its amazing how many visual handicaps we need to provide the loving driver lmfao jesus chrisst lmfao

actionjackson posted:in your first pic that escalator is not covered at all ah, I was thinking about the Death Star one (Kanyon). i can’t really remember what Zorlu Center is like when it’s raining but I think they had figured something out, nothing was broken. it’s really loving expensive there, there’s like a Louis Vuitton and Mario Batalli’s Eataly and poo poo so they keep that stuff well maintained for wealthy Arab and Russian tourists. taxi drivers in those areas really frown on you if you’re not a wealthy tourist because no local will ever tip a taxi driver but the tourists sure will. they may even kick you out.

Yet more evidence of the US's creamy racism center that you will not see in any history book that Texas has a say in. it might have been a poster here who said "The Villages proves even rich Boomers love walkable communities--they just don't like living nearby the help."

The Villages actually seems unfortunate because it probably easily could be walkable, and walkability seems like something that definitely should be considered important for a retirement community, but it isn't. mystes has issued a correction as of 17:44 on May 25, 2022 |

The Florida golf cart-centered developments are still miles ahead of mid century automobile developments.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:The Florida golf cart-centered developments are still miles ahead of mid century automobile developments. If boomers did realize they wanted walkability when they retired that would be annoying but still probably have positive effects overall, but they are mostly not realizing that, which is unfortunate for both them and everyone else.

you ever think just how crazy it is that we've normalized using 2 ton machines capable of moving 100 miles per hour to transport one 150 pound person like 9 miles? burning an insanely volatile finite resource upon which our entire society depends? drat!

if you like TRASHFUTURE there’s a new episode out with Paris Marx talking about their upcoming book about how cars and car infrastructure and car brain and electric cars all suck. I liked it. https://twitter.com/harbingertweets/status/1529193780724781058?s=21&t=FdmgLKX5Oq8I7ERu7xmyOg

It's a loving nightmare OP. I was once in California during fire season and got to see the insanely long line of huge trucks and SUVs idling on the freeway to evacuate from the fire zone. Delirious society

mystes posted:I don't think The Villages is actually particularly walkable. It's set up so it's exactly like typical suburbia but on a slightly smaller scale with golf carts rather than cars (although I'm sure there are other retirement communities that actually are like what you're imagining). yeah i was probably wrong about this. p.s. your username/avatar are indescribably elegant. just the right size.

Those fatality charts always show motorcycles being the most dangerous but how many of those motorcyclists died because they got run over or a car pulled out in front of them. How many of the ferry deaths were people getting run over by cars on the ferry

knowing transportation engineers, I can only imagine that this was the only acceptable compromise lmfao this will surely incentivize a driver to slow down and shoulder check their right side blind spot

How many of the ferry deaths were people getting run over by cars on the ferry I mean in rare cases a motorcycle death might be because of something SUV related but overwhelmingly they're because motorcycles encourage people to live dangerously. If a motorcycle owner dies because they went skydiving and the parachute didn't deploy, that's a motorcycle death because they wouldn't have gone skydiving if it wasn't for the effect of the motorcycle on the person's decision making capabilities

Wolfy posted:In theory this could work but you know this street is signed for 25 yet the cars are going 45 so that crossing is loving terrifying in oakland, absolutely i can confirm that street and others you are expected to go no less than 45 on or else its road-rage time. everyone flies at twice the speed down residential and ped streets and runs reds or stops constantly there. tbf thats also the whole bay area but there is definitely an anger vibe 'why am i, a car driver, being inconvenienced by all these inconveniences? gently caress u peds'
