There was a heavily used pedestrian underpass here that served as a vital pedestrian/biking connection on a street that's basically impossible to cross because of heavy traffic that goes 60 miles per hour. It's pretty beat up and hasn't been repaired in awhile but was still functional. Locals have been calling for it to be fixed for sometime to make the crossing safer for people. Last week the state transportation agency decided to fix it. How you ask? By completely filling in the tunnel with concrete and telling people to just cross the street.  There's no pedestrian markings, no cross walk signals, and multiple signs that indicate that pedestrians shouldn't cross there since it's so dangerous. It breaks my heart that people are going to get flattened by drivers trying to catch the bus or ride their bike and everyone's going to act surprised when it happens. America once again proves it is a demon cracker hell hole.

I was visiting family in New Jersey and there were some kids trying to cross a major stroad without a cross walk which thankfully brought traffic to a halt so they could cross. I asked where the closest crossing was and a little over a mile away was the answer. pretty hosed up.

Took a train to the Penn/NJ border and biked along a canal tow-path for like 3 hours, ate at a restaurant and then took the train back home. It was lovely.

actionjackson posted:there was a dodge charger (lol) behind me, and those red lights you see are actually animated, going back in forth having animated non white/amber lights visible in front is a felony in a bunch of states. like its technically a felony to have a night rider car in new jersey. this guy will probably get pulled over at some point (then the cop will high five him)

a few months ago I was driving down the freeway and some dude in a pickup had bright white LEDs blasting directly behind him from under his rear bumper. I presume it is some kind of work truck thing and he messed up a wire or a switch but holy poo poo it was dangerous.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DOd4RLNeT4 Pretty dece video, guy adds open source AI to his car and comes to the conclusion that FSD is bullshit and useless. Also he doesn't love the car. And then he basically suggests reinventing the train.

Counterpoint, speed limits are often political decisions that have nothing to do with road safety limits.

Huge if true. Here's an idea: maybe driving with an large margin of safety is fine, or good even. You don't need to be driving at the limit of safety like some wannabe F1 driver.

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:idc i'm still gonna go the limit or below Seems like it would be better to choose a safe speed regardless of an arbitrary sign based on the lobbying of local karens or traffic cops that want to extort people. If you’re lucky enough to live in a jurisdiction where speed limits are set by apolitical panels of traffic engineers, then follow posted limits for sure.

This argument might make sense if they pulled anyone over here and ticketed them. They do not. Cops don't pay attention unless you crash. The local social media consensus is that we should set speed limits for "high skill drivers, and not for the lowest skill drivers on the road." This is an absolutely insane statement that sounds like they think they're playing Gran Turismo.

"Apolitical traffic engineers," a thing that definitely exists.
