Everyone loves cars and hates streetcars, that's why those trolleys are gone now. I understand now. *ignores massive political influence by the richest corporations in world to influence every level of government to promote cars at the detriment of everything else* A loving misdemeanor!? The cop loses his driver license for only a year. I also love the snipe at the victim at the end of the article, "Short who had been heavily drinking in a South End bar earlier that night, had a blood-alcohol level of more than three times the legal limit at the time of his death." If he was sober, he could dodge cars going over 100 mph on a city street.

well that was fun. coming home from picking up mod pizza when I see a car coming up behind me WAY too fast, missed my bumper by ~3 inches when he swerved into the turn lane, followed immediately by 6 cop cars with lights on. over the next minute 7 more went by, then I saw them all stopped about a half mile ahead. dude hit someone else in the oncoming lanes, went off the road, down an embankment and right into a tree. that really would have sucked to get rear ended by some idiot going 80

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Don't be a loving moron, greg12 is explicitly saying that people live where they do in the US because it's what they want to do, not because of government policy. He implies that the belief that government policy can influence society is conspiratorial thinking. My name isn't greg, so in the prior post where he called me greg I was like, "wow what a dummy, I will check that other thread next to see what this dumb guy greg is saying." But yeah, the cool new thing where I am is to call every road widening project a Complete Streets project by adding a lovely 3- or 4-foot bike lane, where that width is measured to the wall of the curb and includes the gutter. "It's not a demand-inducing capacity project! It's an active transportation project! Don't you like bike lanes? Don't look at the part where we're adding two through lanes for cars. Just please give us the money from the active transportation program budget."

One thing that I just thought about with all of those pictures of guys standing next to trucks that go up to their shoulders and they say something like "I'm 6 foot tall this is ridiculous" How do we know that they are being honest about their height? Couldn't they just be short. What if he's just 3'8 but looks tall? And the truck just barely comes up to his shoulders, isn't that fine at that.point? Just don't cross the street if you're shorter than 4' tall? E: part of the inflation reduction act should have been installing amusement park style "you must be this tall to cross here" height measurement stations at crosswalks around the country TeenageArchipelago has issued a correction as of 19:58 on Dec 15, 2022 |

Unpopular opinion: roundabouts suck in general. But if you want a cyclist to respect it, you definitely need to block the middle somehow. We are not the types to needlessly go round if straight is an option.

I actually do kind of hate car roundabouts. That said, a lot of them in the US are just amazingly pedestrian/bike hostile so I'm willing to reserve judgment to some degree until I can try one in another country that sucks less
