Bike helmets are a bandaid solution for countries with inferior cycling infrastructure.

I don't think there's enough room for a jughandle, since there's a tunnel a bit further down the road.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiadhlHHLG8 That sounds like a great idea, especially when it's not traffic already waiting for the light to go green, but cars that are already driving around 50km/h...

Over here it's just a slow ticking noise if it's red, ticking fast if it's green and like a heartbeat if it's about to turn red.

Lead out in cuffs posted:Well, browsing that SpaceHive website that seems to be part-crowdfunding the trampoline idea, I didn't find any other trampolines, but did find this plan to turn a flyover in central Liverpool into a park. It's actually not a bad idea at all -- really rather a nice example of taking poorly-planned 70s car-centric infrastructure and turning it into a more livable, human-centred space. The location is pretty ideal, too -- right next to a museum, art gallery, library, theatre and a big park. Basically a lot like the High Line in New York. There's a similar plan going on in Rotterdam, where a former railway line (now the Hofbogen will be turned into a park, with the room underneath being used for shops, restaurants, whatever.

Baronjutter posted:Is there nothing like a regional planning office or some department to coordinate all of this? Have one big fairly unified regional plan for land use and transport and growth then flesh the plan out via traffic engineers and transit agencies and local city zoning and such? Someone to coordinate all these very separate agencies that barely talk to each other but are critically entwined ? What are you, some kind of communist?

Baronjutter posted:I'm surprised they did't just include a small space for bikes in the tunnel, like make the emergency exit hallway a bit wider and stick bikes or something in there. Or build a swing/lift bridge above. Seems like something that might happen one day? Or is the route not quite important enough to justify a bridge? It's a toll tunnel as well, which complicates things a bit.

I live next to a busy railway line in the Netherlands and except for freight trains, I don't hear them anymore. Assholes on motorcycles going through the tunnel underneath it, though...

Fragrag posted:I'd appreciate it if someone could dig through my post history and find my post complaining about traffic in Jakarta from September last year since I'm stuck posting on my phone. Here you go: Fragrag posted:I'm staying in suburban Jakarta at the moment and my god the traffic infrastructure is so awful. I don't mind the driving style that much, but there are so many cars and the roads simply can't handle the volume. We left my cousin's house and not even a mile away we end up in traffic and there's till roughly 30km to our destination. I'll think twice before cursing the traffic back home in Antwerp. (but I still will because we're still the second most congested city according to INRIX) Fragrag posted:Sorry, that was a rather knee-jerk post. I'm just really tired from travelling non-stop for a week and I got frustrated from being stuck in traffic. There's a lot of badly planned developments here without any decent foresight. Multiple housing complexes with several dozen residences only accessible by a very narrow road that barely has enough space for an SUV, let alone allowing another to pass by.

Entropist posted:In Amsterdam, the only viable solution for the overcrowded roads in the center that I see is more separation of pedestrians and cyclists. Either encouraging them to take different routes, or banning pedestrians from certain cycling routes entirely (though that seems difficult in practice for whatever buildings lie on that route). Separation of pedestrians and cyclists, and removing all motorized traffic, surely?

Entropist posted:In Amsterdam I ran into this nonsense: https://goo.gl/maps/6tfUphBweHG2 There's a warning sign at both ends of the road that indicates there are three speed bumps ahead. It's a cheap alternative to putting in a full speed bump (like further down the road). And it looks like you can just cycle past it on the side?

Considering it's China I'm surprised they didn't put a massive bridge on top of it. That's what they do at most intersections.
