BorgDrone, in Our children are victims of road violence. We need to talk about the deadly norms of car use

How about starting with proper driving lessons and tests and not letting children drive 1+ ton death machines?

Also regular tests for people who have been driving to ensure they understand the changes in driving laws and to reinforce safety guidance.

PlasterAnalyst,

I haven't had to take a driving test in over 20 years. Only once I had to take a multiple choice test on the meaning of various signs and you get three chances to pass it. It's absolutely absurd that they allow people to get their license at 16 and rarely have to retake a driving test.

Eq0, in Monsters of the road: what should the UK do about SUVs? [The Observer]

I’m glad to see this discussion starting gathering attention. In general, I think we should start looking more and more at car sharing over car owning: nobody needs an SUV every day, but you might enjoy a longer trip driving one. So short term rental should be incentivized to decrease the overall number of cars on the road and parking lots.

ChaoticNeutralCzech, in Chicago Sold it's Parking Meters to Morgan Stanley for 75 years. (The consequences have been terrible)

What the video doesn’t address: Did the politicians face any consequences?

KnightontheSun,

Yes. Good ones.

Let me guess what kind of people predominantly lived in the neighborhoods that were bulldozed.

It really annoys me when I see people on bicycles or e-scooters just browsing Twitter or whatever on their phones. At least people looking at their phones in cars have a steel box around them to protect them from their stupidity

jakob,

@doublepepperoni

Last i saw a racing-biker with about 40km/h... he had such handlebars where he can lean on it to lie almost on his bike... tipping on his smartphone...

I have always the urge to do a loud scream/shout...

Ah yes, let’s reinvent the train for the billionth time.

Froyn, in Hi-viz

If they didn't want to get run down by my car, why were they riding on the sidewalk?

I thought this was more apple versus android shit again.

I saw a guy typing one handed on his moped yesterday…at speed.

In one of those situations only someone in a long term relationship can understand my wife was upset as I was not worried that she may be dead when I wake up. Please don't ask me to explain these kinds of things. The main point is I was saying I was worried about her when she is off driving someplace as that is the most dangerous period of time.

Let me present: the new constructed high speed rail line Wendlingen-Ulm, next to Autobahn 8.

That works. The local L trains running along side the highway in Chicago got me, seeing 5 trains roll by while barley[barely] moving in bumper to bumper gave me the final push to covert to public transit

ThrowawayPermanente, in Atlanta 1950s and now

The expressway must expand in order to acommodate the increasing needs of the expressway

squaresinger, in Atlanta 1950s and now

Sure the designers of this monstrosity thought, “There are only black people living there, so it’s a win-win” -.-
