Public transport is great until you have to take multiple hops on extremely busy, infrequently running services which arent even direct

It’s worth pointing out that this not a function of public transit but rather of car-centric design where private vehicles are the fastest and most convenient means of transportation. It also harms those who cannot afford a private vehicle and those with disabilities preventing them from driving.

ask why I purchased the truck

Why did you purchase the truck?

It’s the law where I live too, but I have never seen it enforced or even heard of it being enforced before until reading your comment.

That was my first thought too. db0 has way less reddit-like mods than .world.

Release the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog!!!

I wouldn’t even call it an experiment since it has been successfully implemented in London, Singapore (since 1975!), San Diego, Milan, Stockholm, and other cities.

It is the latter.

People from the UK are welcome here.

Sheriffs can literally walk into a church and deputise everyone.

Be more constructive next time.

Do you feel safe biking on a road with a painted line “protecting” you from drivers?

Did you go with this? It’s a really cool use-case.

How often do you see drivers roll stop signs or rush amber lights? When’s the last time you drove at or below the speed limit for an entire trip? I constantly hear drivers complaining about cyclists who pose no danger to drivers, meanwhile the drivers continue to exceed the speed limit, roll stop signs, and be one of the leading causes of death in this country despite having fully dedicated infrastructure everywhere.

Where I live, drivers continue to use the bike lane to turn right and for parking despite having a dedicated roadway. It kills and injures multiple people every year. The point being there are people who incorrectly use the existing infrastructure regardless of their mode of transport.

The difference is that bike routes in cities are incomplete and often have unsafe, pothole-riddled gutters with a painted line next to it as an excuse for infrastructure. People prioritise their safety even if that means not using a poorly designed bike lane.

Having dedicated bike infrastructure means that people using bikes and pedestrians are not forced to compete for a tiny strip of sidewalk while most of the roadway is dedicated to cars. Bikes need to yield to pedestrians, so aside from it being illegal to ride on the sidewalk as an adult, it is much slower. There are also many roads that do not have sidewalks.

Proper bike infrastructure is protected by concrete bollards or curbs

Keep in mind that these numbers are a reflection of what has been built to induce demand for either cars, bikes, public transit, etc.

Most people cannot afford it and we’d have to bulldoze tons of space to accommodate the parking.

However for those who enjoy racing as a hobby, I 100% agree that it’s best to go to a track instead of endangering those around you and causing noise pollution.

Kei cars have been banned in Massachusetts, Georgia, Maine and New York with restrictions in Alabama and Arkansas.
