You forget that you're talking primarily about Americans here, where the attitude is that anyone who isn't me benefiting is, in fact, a personal affront to me

Who the gently caress wants to spend their time trying to figure out what loving lane you want to be in?? Even in a giant american car you can only drive in one lane at a time, if you build more lanes it encourages other dickheads to drive in them and that is bad.

I live in a rural area so 5 under is a luxury, normal is there's a tractor in front of you and it's struggling to do 25mph and also it's towing a trailer full of hay bales and covering your car in the loving stuff. Also frankly one lane per direction is a luxury, a lot of places we get one lane to share.

Your mistake is believing most people consider their cars as primarily a means of transportation and not a power fantasy directly tied to things like class, status, wealth, etc.

Now this is only my take but, it's all tribalism. Sometimes it's about them not sharing your circumstances and not being reliably against changes that would maybe be bad for you, and sometimes it's their football team is not my team and they should be muuuurdered

when i was learning to drive an ambulance, they showed us a study that tried to work out how much faster you would get to an average call, going lights and sirens versus no lights and sirens. I think their data was from atlanta and the difference was less than 90 seconds.

500 good dogs posted:because it could be another lane, gotta have more lanes man when i lived in phoenix there was a plan to widen some roads to add bicycle lanes. like, not just paint some bicycle symbols in the right lane -- they were going to actually expand the shoulders and pave new cycle lanes outside the car lanes so the cyclists wouldn't have to share. a surprisingly nice gesture, and imo the next best thing to curb-separated lanes like they have in holland for instance. i watched some of the town hall proceedings and i have never seen angrier people in my life. they were furious that the city was planning to build roads where their cars weren't allowed to go. people literally yelling that they were going to loving drive in the bicycle lanes if they loving wanted to and the bicycles would just have to get out of their loving way. cars are a disease

As a person who has never owned a car, and used to own a bike before I got hassled by the cops for riding it around my residential neighborhood one too many times, cars and bikes both behave equally lovely to me. I was astonished recently to see TWO bikes, in a SINGLE WEEK, riding in the bike lanes and not on the sidewalks where almost every bike hangs out, just riding next to the always-empty bike lane.

At a pedestrian in NYC I appreciate the anti cycling memes. Red light? One way? Sidewalk? I'm not a car so that means I can go anywhere and do anything.

On my city you get the bike lanes but cyclists still are in the road. But don't you dare as pedestrian to touch the bike one because they'll jump on you. gently caress car drivers and cyclists equally.

cops are basically inseparable from their cars so it makes sense. i think that forcing cops to get out of their paranoid automobile fortresses and walk a beat, or at least ride a bicycle, would be a big improvement. 1) cops have to interact with regular friendly civilians in their neighborhood on a daily basis, so they start to build a connection to the community and lose the "everyone is a potential enemy" attitude 2) civilians get to see cops just hanging around being cheerful vs only seeing them when something bad is happening, so they become less intimidating 3) maybe they lose some loving weight

gently caress cyclists (sexually) gently caress cars (by setting them on fire (don't actually do that, it's super bad for the climate))
