  • Republicans are probably fully on board with these new charges. I hear they have quite the obsession with former white house residents deleting stuff that pertains to the government from private systems...

  • We made delicious Jambalaya Tuesday evening. Such a great dish! Tasty and you're basically just throwing ingredients in a pot and make sure they don't burn...

  • An older more polluting car migth not be the better option. But if the new car is one of those giant murde boxes then it's not going to be an upgrade either.

  • Will humanity ever be able to overcome that tribalistic instinct of "us vs. them?"

    Jump

  • Remove? No. Overcome? We're already doing it.

    Our society is far more accomodating than it has ever been. Different sexes, ethnicities, skin colors, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities and whatnot enjoy more acceptance and equality now than ever before. Something like the EU - a voluntary alliance of this size - would have been unthinkable probably just 100-200 years ago. And for all its flaws the participating nations have grown closer through it.

    We still got ways to go particularly internationally and we must be ever vigilat against those that want to drag us backward but the progress is undeniable.

  • So producing them and shipping them around the globe needs to be reduced dramatically. So that point still kinda stands?

    The supply side is the wrong place to tackle this problem though. If you limit the amount of new cars that may be produced, people will simply drive their older ones for longer.

  • If you integrate the digital into an analog game, it's no longer an analog game. It's now a video game with a physical dongle. Looking at you LoTR:JtME!

  • In some places they only allow morning deliveries, then for most of the day cars are banned. This means shops can still easily stock up while keeping the area free of traffic when people are out and about.

    Another strategy is not allowing through-traffic by installing modal filters. Which means you're only gonna drive in there if you actually need to go there. Basically the cul-de-sac idea from suburbia but without the sprawl that pulls everything apart and without restricting bikes and pedestrians to the same convoluted labyrinth.

  • Road maze stumps drivers in French village

  • They seem to have a real problem with speeding (the article mentions up to 50 in a 20 km/h zone). That's massive. 20 is really just barely more than the idle power of a car. It's what we have in Switzerland for "encounter" zones where cars are allowed but pedestrians have full priority. Speeding through that at 50 is crazy.

    It's an interesting approach and it seems to be working. So I say good for them. But at the same time I can't help but think that there might have been more conventional things to try. Signs don't really work well on drivers. Physics does. A few hefty dips and bumps get drivers to slow down real fucking fast. Looking at a top down image of the intersection there's a REALLY wide turn on one side that is very obviously tempting to speed through. But there's also a small "square" next to it which could have easily been extended to make the turn more sharp. A few more of those fat concrete planters and drivers will learn really quickly that this space isn't for them anymore.

  • It's Europe, not a fairy tale. We do in fact renovate and change our streets occasionally. A clear indicator are the fancy cut grey slabs and the metal disc. I can guarantee you those are not there since the time of horse and carriage. Also the red bricks would be waaay more worn down by now if they were that old.

  • There are multiple additional parking spaced behind the car. Replacing one spot with bike parking still allows both modes to visit the shop but provides an increased number of visitor spaces.

  • It's not an old video game. They're not immovable parts of the level design. You can likely move or bump them out of the way enough to pass through.

    Meanwhile right next to them is a huge metal box that stole 4 times as much sidewalk, transported half as many people and is literally un-moveable if you're not in a heavy motorized vehicle.

  • When I learned to drive there was a pretty big emphasis put on paying attention to cyclists in round abouts. Nowadays the official rule for how a bicycle should go through a round about is: in the middle of the road. Even as a car driver I love the boldness of this approach.

  • I find this post hilarious in a really sad and aggravating way.

    Everyone complains how the bikes block the path for pedestrians, strollers, wheelchairs. But pictured on this very same image is how the entire sidewalk is narrowed to make room for cars. That one car takes up twice as much space as those two bikes and likely transported half an many people. And if you’re on foot, in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller you can push the bicycles out of the way. You can’t push the car out of your way.
