There are even museum train lines on it! De Lütt Kaffeebrenner is on the map! It's complete madness.

Neat map. Would love if they had a version of that map which highlights all of the lines that every day will randomly cancel a bunch of trains, those which stop 2 hours on the tracks on a supposed-to-be-60 minute trip, etc. Or maybe that is just implied because it affects every line? I know for sure the train line through the Mittelrhein is dogshit. DB really needs to hire some Spanish or Italian managers that can show them how to run an intercity train network. E: lol, just checked how late they are right now in that area at this moment and literally every train but one for the next two hours is cancelled with horrific bus connections.

Most of the delays are caused by long-distance train delays cascading through the network, because long-distance rail is massively overcrowded. Replacing management won't do poo poo. There simply needs to be more rail investment.

You only posted half the global stopsign image... here's the other half: Some errors on it for the colors, like Iran/Afghanistan should be "other", and probably should have strips for places like Tunisia that have both stop and qif. Looks like Cuba, Pakistan, and to a lesser extent PNG and Japan are the only countries that went all bizarre on it. I did a self-drive roadtrip around Cuba a few years ago, would have maybe been useful to have known what that sign meant, lol. My Spanish is OK but I absolutely would not have recognized what that sign meant. Saladman fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Jan 27, 2024 |

My Spanish is OK but I absolutely would not have recognized what that sign meant. Japan’s is a point‐down equilateral triable with “止まれ” on it. Israel’s is a red octagon with a raised hand. Gilead’s stop signs, in The Handmaid’s Tale, are red “hexagons”. I don’t know why they’re not octagons. Maybe they stole them from Bhutan.

Cuba will never stop, only yield. Huh, I would've thought if Japan's stop signs were the rare non-hexagon, I would've heard about it. Papa New Guinea makes sense to be something I never heard of.

Vanuatu and Madagascar have been known to use circular stop signs.  Maybe they got it from Tonga.

Per wikipedia, even the 1968 convention allows the circular sign with a triangle inside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_sign

Map doesn't go into the different use cases for stop signs: America: just put them all around intersections everywhere, so that people don't really stop for them anymore. Europe: Mainly base intersections around yield vs priority road setups for smoother traffic flow, only use stop signs for intersections that are so dangerous a normal yield sign wouldn't suffice, and then only for the directions that actually have to yield, so that people take them incredibly seriously and you need maybe 2 stop signs in an entire city.

The US is about 3 more traffic fatalities per 100k than Europe. Bad, but otoh they both are s-tier compared to the globe. The country I’m in is Mad Max by comparison with more than double the US rate and still ten less than the death trap that is Thailand. The worst is Liberia.

I think I've met about 3 people who have been maimed or badly hurt in moped accidents in Thailand. I don't know anyone who has been seriously hurt in traffic in countries that are not Thailand. As a swede.

Thats far more than 3 above developed Europe. Its more like 300-600% in reality. ie in Europe its: Norway 2 Sweden 2.2 Ireland 2.9 UK 2.9 Germany 3.7 Spain 3.9 etc Thats a pretty horrifying difference, and one largely avoidable if the US actually had regulations on truck size, enforced drunk driving more and such.

In America you can't even go to the store without driving four hours down the 800 Lane superhighway because it's illegal to walk and packs of mutant cyborgs roam the few existent footpaths. Which is why everyone drives monster trucks with greased up tyres to keep the muties from climbing into your car and jacking it on your seats spilling their corrosive mutant jism everywhere which is a huge bother to clean. Also you can drink a bunch beers and still be allowed to drive while in Europe if you even look at a beer before driving it counts as drunk driving and gets you sentenced to a week in the pillory.

Any statistics that aren't adjusted to per drivers and not per population are meaningless as to the nature of street design because Euros drive way less and instead walk around in the puddles of ejaculate they spew over having a fancier train system.

If you want actual road and vehicle safety, I'd use passenger-km/mile. E: I haven't seen a direct comparison of safety but the average distance traveled is around 10-12k/year (2021 was affected by covid) so you can do the math

Wikipedia has stats per pop, per kilometers driven and per vehicle. The wildest is Somalia with 6500 fatalities per 100,000 vehicles  which I assume is due to less than perfect registration rates of vehicles in said countryhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate America doesn't do particularly well compared to Western Europe even after switching to deaths per kilometers, but yeah, it does improve its standing in relative terms quite a bit.

It's not the only--or even most important--data point for US policy though. In pursuit of our vision zero goals, we count all fatalities and particularly focus on pedestrians and cyclists.
