a_pineapple posted:If a car can fit in a bike lane the bike lane is too wide. Like shrink the bike lane 6 inches and make the curb juuuust high enough that it would make driving in them extremely bad for a car. Or yeah just put a single bollard at the entry/exit of the bike lane near the intersections this is not hard like how much money are DOTs spending on implementing and replacing these lovely solutions when they could just do it right in the first place SHEESH like honestly I don't even need the green paint or antyhing like that just gimme da bollards instead of maker bike lines smaller, they seem to be making cars bigger

Pryor on Fire posted:Yeah the childish naivety about how laws get enforced in this thread is overwhelming at times. They passed a law here that said you have to give cyclists 3 feet of space when passing and the sheriff held a press conference where he said that the law was stupid and he personally didn't like it and it's unenforceable so 10 years later there have been zero tickets written. hmm if it i were me i would simply move away from this lawless hellhole

mystes posted:Wider bike lanes are better and too many bollards can be dangerous for cyclists so I'm not totally convinced that changing bike lanes to ensure cars definitely can't get in them is necessarily always the right solution. They really just need to make parking in bike lanes a $300 fine and driving in them that plus license suspension, and enforce it really strictly. Yeah the right solution is to collect every car and feed them into an industrial shredder

I started playing Cities: Skylines new DLC, Plazas and Promenades. It lets you make pedestrian only areas. It's still not that great compared to traffic mods that really let you make nearly any sort of road and pedestrian street, but it's a nice addition to the game. It's a bit funny the game handles pedestrian areas as a HUGE bonus to land value and tourism. You don't even need a park or anything. Simple residential houses on a pedestrian street without shops or attractions is tourist destination to the car brained perspective.

Now we just need some sort of crushing robot.

Cop writing a ticket to a man who was driving 60 in icy conditions and went off the road: dangerous conditions, should have known better Cop letting off a chud whose driven an EV hummer for a year and ran over a child going 35 through a residential area: it's a tragedy, never could have been predicted, just couldn't stop in time

Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:That's some crazy speeding down a bike lane in what looks like a slower suburban road. There isn't a good solution to this. You don't see any city slapping down bollards in the middle of a two way street to prevent drivers speeding down the wrong way. Even raising the bike lane to sidewalk level isn't a good solution because plenty of drivers using a raised sidewalk as a passing lane. that's not a suburb, that's the uptown area of minneapolis. it's right in what is probably the best area to live without a car, even better than downtown for whatever it's worth, the lyn-lake neighborhood has a walk score of 96

a bit of good news, the traffic calming I was hoping for on the downhill street next to me has started! they will be putting in bumpouts where the road normally widened at the I-94 bridge which should slow things down quite a bit. There's also a letter we will be sending requesting a crosswalk and a median refuge at the next street.

Next 10 years of transportation gonna be hilarious More vehicles on the road -> traffic Heavier EVs on the road causing more damage to the road -> more road construction -> lane closures -> traffic Higher demand for charging stations -> more EVs waiting in line for a charge -> traffic Frustrated drivers getting aggressive and driving like poo poo because traffic is awful -> more dead pedestrians -> lane closures and emergency vehicles on the road -> traffic
