I can understand on some level why some lead-poisoned boomer loves his Mustang convertible. British cars were entirely unredeemable and they all loving failed when they were exported here in the 1950s because stroke over bore for tax reasons doesn't work in a country with a real highway system.

when the M1 motorway opened in 1959 everyone flocked there in their ford pops and hillman minxes to see how quickly they could melt their big end bearings and seize their engines into a solid block of iron

Chumps, Toronto simply rules that it's actually fine for cops to drive into people. It saves a lot of money that we can use to hire more cops.

if you force cops to pay damages to people they hit you're just creating a perverse incentive for them to kill the ppl they hit so if you think about it actually toronto is very progressive here

With screens in the cars getting larger and larger I can't wait till they make the first entirely ad-supported car

Where once you've driven a certain number of miles you gotta pull over and watch a commercial and answer a survey about Olive Garden before the car will go any further

quote:

Traffic and road usage are known to follow the principle of induced demand, which means an increase in supply will invite higher demand. In other words, if private cars are given more road space, it will entice more people to drive their cars.

Several studies have shown that while decreasing lanes for private cars may cause traffic congestion in the beginning, it encourages car owners to use public transportation or a bicycle in the long run. This phenomenon is called “traffic evaporation.”

“Benefits of bicycle commuting such as improved mobility, reduction in the number of vehicles on the streets, lesser carbon emissions and healthier lifestyles have been documented in areas where both bicycle infrastructure and policies have been successful,” a 2019 study of the University of the Philippines-Diliman School of Urban and Regional Planning (UP SURP) stated.

An earlier study from 2017 looked into the effects of bike lane infrastructure on ridership in Manila. It noted that bike lanes and other forms of bicycle infrastructure can lead to a decrease in traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.

“People seemed to have no doubt that promoting bicycling in the city and building a bikeways network would redound to measurable benefits. Among those cited were a reduction in pollution from motorized vehicles, less traffic congestion, lower transport costs and promoting the general health of the population,” it further said.

This was echoed in the 2019 UP SURP study which noted that providing necessary infrastructure such as bicycle lanes and parking areas had a “significant relationship to willingness to bicycle commute and bicycle commuting experience.”

The 2022 SWS study reinforced this. It showed that about 75% of heads of households believed that cycling is just as effective in getting commuters to their destinations as other modes of transportation, and 80% said that more people would use bicycles if the roads were safer.
