Een straat in Amsterdam, met #karrenspoor.🌱 Stel je voor als alle kleine woonstraten er zo uitzien.🤩

Bereikbaar, autoluw. Af en toe een passeerstrook erin. Goed begaanbaar voor voetgangers en fietsers. Perfect voor een fijne, trage en mooie straat!

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

The days are getting shorter, and the sun is rising later and later.

Even lazybones and layabouts like me can finally enjoy a sunrise.

EU cave in on vehicle trade rules will cost European lives as US… Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers are at increased risk as the rapid rise in monster US pick-up trucks on Europe’s roads is set to accelerate after the…

As part of VDL's trade war surrender to Trump, the EU has promised to lower its vehicle safety & pollution standards.

NGO @transenv.bsky.social calls it a "betrayal of all EU citizens" forcing "monster 🇺🇸pick-up trucks" into Europe that will increase pedestrian deaths.

Vienna’s “Car Bet”: From May to July, households gave up their private cars in exchange for a monthly €500 mobility budget. Result: 2/3 realized they don’t need a car many sold theirs, choosing public transport, carsharing & more. More space, less traffic, better life.

Amsterdam is building tiny staircases for cats all over the city €100,000 has been earmarked to build ‘wildlife escape routes’ along canals

Helsinki (pop 657,000) has not had a single traffic death during the last twelve months.

Zürich eröffnet heute am Hbf. ein wahres Prestigeprojekt! Ein fürs Auto geplanter Tunnel wurde in einen 440m langen Fahrradtunnel umgebaut. Auch ein Parkhaus mit 1240 Stellplätzen gibt es & ist 48h kostenfrei. 40 Mio.€ hat der Umbau gekostet - ein Signal welche Priorität das Velo in Zürich genießt❤️

Jet Lag: The Game (the nebula/youtube show) should honestly be used by European public transport networks as a place for advertisements. (Well not Deutsche Bahn that is.)

I stand with Ukraine

Proud to live in a country (the Netherlands) that unconditionally supports Ukraine.

Europe needs to re-arm, to support Ukraine and defend itself and democracy.

Ukraine is the one defending Europe from Russian aggression. Ukraine should be part of the EU.

Amsterdams MVG-toilet geplaatst in Oosterpark, plaskrul verdwijnt - Plaskrul Amsterdam Op woensdag 18 december werd in alle vroegte het eerste Amsterdamse MVG-toilet geplaatst in het Oosterpark. Dit MVG-toilet is de eerste van ongeveer 20 exemplaren die de komende jaren in […]

Voor de liefhebbers: een mooie fotorapportage van het nieuwste openbaar toilet van Amsterdam. Recent geplaatst (maar nog niet in gebruik, volgens mij) in het Oosterpark.

This small park at the end of the bridge in Amsterdam was a car park until a few years ago. In the past four years Amsterdam has removed over 7,000 car parking spaces, making way for greenery, cycle parking and new cycle routes.

Photo of a car on the cycle path in the Stationspleinstalling in Utrecht, the largest bicycle parking in the world. A motorist followed her navigation and drove into the bicycle parking. There are information boards above the car showing cyclists how many free spaces there are on which floor. The photo was taken by bystander Tessa Heerschop.

Built the biggest bike parking in the world...

...and motorists will start using it

Amsterdam is the slowest car city in the Netherlands.

And that is exactly what the municipality had in mind with its policy to reduce maximum speed from 50 to 30 km/h: making the city more unattractive for motorists and safer for pedestrians and cyclists. www.parool.nl/amsterdam/am...

Elke jaarwisseling is het weer raak. Agenten, brandweerlieden en hulpverleners lopen volstrekt onverantwoorde risico’s. Hoogste tijd voor een vuurwerkverbod. Wie durft ons daarin te volgen?
