A right sized intersection

A cross walk that is 1/2 as narrow as the engineers built it.

Snowfall is going to put traffic engineers out of a job. Just replace the snow with sidewalk level concrete and tada you’re done

"Denver transportation officials said an anti-car message that was displayed on traffic signs in Denver on Friday was the result of a hack. One sign, photographed by The Denver Gazette on Friday evening at E. Colfax Ave & Lincoln St near the Colorado Capitol, shared the message 'Cars ruin cities.'"

Street parking is tax payer subsidized storage.

More than half of Toronto drivers in a Universtiy of Toronto study didn't look for people walking or on bikes before turning right. Study used eye-tracking tech.

Increasingly deadly vehicles, dumb laws, and irresponsible driving equal people being injured and killed.

"The study found that, from January through June 2025, average daily maximum PM2.5 concentrations in Manhattan’s CRZ declined by 3.05 micrograms per cubic meter – a reduction of 22% compared to a projected average of 13.8 micrograms per cubic meter had congestion pricing not been implemented."

Woooo! Still strong on day 8

Where do covers of it land? Do they count?

The primary function of public transit isn’t to move people who can’t drive, it’s to move more people faster than cars. A properly designed transit system makes using transit more appealing to drivers. Slow and unreliable transit keeps drivers in their cars.

Tarantino movies have always been deeply misogynist - I love a violent action movie but he pumps out a constant debasement & targeting of women w/ violence. As a teen during his heyday it was hard being told these movies were the best when I was always left feeling so uncomfortable.

Iconic cartoon showing a single driver in a wide car taking up most of the street space. With many people crammed into the bus, bike and pedestrian space left over. Someone later added a voice box with the driver saying “Damn those bike paths and bus lanes taking all the space!”

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Should it have priority at lights and be faster than say, a bus? Also yes. But wanting to celebrate for the day…and thanks to @ttcriders.bsky.social for advocating for better scheduling.

Congrats on the Finch LRT opening today! Biked 35km round trip along the Humber River to check it out. should it have been built earlier, faster, and more cheaply? Yes! But it’s still a win for communities that have been grossly ignored by governments. #Toronto #FinchLRT #wintercycling #vikingbiking

Copenhagen 🇩🇰 cyclists saved society $1.61 per mile traveled in 2022. Cars cost society $0.29 per mile traveled.

The people want transit.

This is an hour early and it’s freezing cold.

Bigger than the crowd for the Elizabeth line (more places to wait for that though…)

New infrastructure just dropped! Woooo! Congrats to all the residents in the area for this long awaited, much needed train!
