should require a CDL to drive anything larger than a minivan, driving tests should be much harder as well. also big roads should have train tracks plopped right in the middle of them

In its time it was the largest streetcar network in the world and we just paved over it for loving buses

At least the Blue Line will finally be getting some love with the new 7000 series cars which should speed things up a little bit from O'Hare. Still beats the poo poo out of sitting on 90 by a longshot.

my dog and i got buzzed by some jackass SUV for having the audacity to use a crosswalk, pedestrians should have the martyrdom perk enabled

should require a CDL at the minimum to drive one of those trucks, we'll see how many people really need them for "work"

i see scrappers make it by perfectly fine in the oldest piece of poo poo pickup they can keep running and they actually provide a useful service unlike tahoe cabin owners

couldn't happen in my city because we privatized parking meters and need to pay them off whenever we remove parking spots! :psypop:

Almost every Starbucks around here has to have traffic horses in one of their entrances now because the traffic spillover from their drive thrus basically shuts down a lane at every meal rush (even evenings). And you can't really park close in the lot because there's a chance you get boxed in by the loving drive thru line.

If I don't hit the button at my busy street I get like 10 seconds to cross. Gotta make sure to hit it after I cross just to make sure all the drivers get an extra 20 seconds of mild inconvenience (carbrain suffering).

Just parking and ordering inside is so much faster than waiting in a crowded drive thru.
The Starbucks around here don't even have the cafes open anymore, just the drive thru lane. They also closed many of the locations that don't have drive thrus. Dunkin' better, anyway.

you have the lake shore paths immediately adjacent too it , why tf would any non-car go on the drive? There are two paths, one for pedestrians and one for cyclists. I don't even think pedestrians or cyclists are allowed on LSD tbh

of all the issues with Chicago, it's a decent city regarding not driving

It's better than most, but post-lockdown the drivers here are loving lunatics. The amount of me-me-me aggressive tailgating, red light blowing, complete abivalence towards anything in the street that isn't another car is off the charts.

The sharrows by me are just turn lanes with bikes painted on them whenever there's a bit of traffic. Not to mention the impatient drivers that get sick of the traffic and zoom into it like a bat out of hell as a passing lane.

I live in Chicago right now.

The L is fine, but has very limited coverage compared to NYC or large non-US cities, everyone I know gets around on the buses mostly

It always kills me to remember that a lot of the bus lines used to be streetcars, and in many cases the rails were paved right over in the 50s. Totally flat grid layout perfect for trains, bikes, walking turned into personal drag strips

Idk I left a dog poo poo bag (filled with snow, not poop) on a BMW that blocked the crosswalk and they never did it again. Get creative
