the minneapolis vision zero pdf actually has a pic of the exact street i'm complaining about. this is the bottom part of the hill right after it widens and crosses 94. as you can see, no traffic calming of any type. this isn't a high injury street itself.

That street has better infrastructure and walkability than 99% of Houston streets. Houston kind of trips rear end backwards into pedestrian friendly streets by having old narrow streets riddled with potholes and ditches on both sides. Cars are too scared to drive quickly on those streets. I'll loving protest city hall if they try to repave my street. Deadly Ham Sandwich has issued a correction as of 01:16 on Sep 5, 2022 |

yeah houston is pretty lol this is our high injury network. basically downtown and then the poor areas of course. the street in the pic is franklin ave SE which you can see on the center right. it's in the network but the rest of the street is (lake and hiawatha is where the target and auto zone burned down after the floyd murder)

lobster shirt posted:what rocks about houston is that now the trucks are getting os big people dont even need to slow down for speedbumps anymore That's why I love when streets are unforgivably narrow. Drivers of oversized trucks or SUVs will slow down unless they want to end up in the ditch. There are a few spots where there isn't a ditch and drivers become overconfident and drive right into the grass and mud. One of my favorite memories of learning to drive in Houston was during a heavy rain storm on one of those narrow roads surrounded by ditches. An impatient idiot sped around me, lost control, and crashed into the flooded ditch. I slowly drove past him to soak in the look of horror on his face.

When I was a kid and SUVs were new, every time it snowed the idiots who bought an SUV would go to the store to buy milk to show their purchase was useful. Our street would get plowed one lane wide, and inevitably several times a day two SUVs would wind up facing one another, each honking wildly and insisting the other driver back down and yield right of way. You could sit on the front porch with hot chocolate mom made you and learn new curse words. Anyway today no one expects SUVs to be useful so the owners don't insist on driving more when it snows. Also it snows a lot less. For some reason.

That's actually a fairly common ritual for SUVs to establish territorial dominance. You're lucky they didn't reach the stage of headfirst ramming - it's less common now but they are descended from mountain goats, after all.

fun car brained story today. some people pulled over in my neighborhood close enough i could see and hear them easily outside my window. they started exchanging insurance info or whatever so i assumed minor fender bender when suddenly one of them absolutely flipped a poo poo out of nowhere and started screaming at the other for a full 20 minutes just right up in their face screaming driver finally drives off, thought it was over, then they come back with reinforcements. a whole friend group of people is now screaming at top volume at the original person, surrounding them, stopping them from driving off this is Texas, so i was 85% sure someone was about to be shot dead right there. somehow miraculously without the cops showing up and without anyone getting shot everyone just dispersed like 20 more minutes of screaming after the second crowd arrived so...yeah good outcome i guess
