2·8 days agoWhat are passengers expected to do with this info?
they solve far more problems than they introduce.
It is worse for pedestrians, who now have twice as many traffic signals to wait for. It is worse for cyclists, with “gauntlet” bike lanes running between through- and right-turning lane. It is only better for cars…so hardly the “best” interchange in existence.
I think he means take a right onto the freeway on-ramp, just before the diverging part.
Some cities will install bike racks for merchants if requested. In fact, some cities require bike racks as part of any planning permit.
It is “fuck cars” content because 1. the lack of proper bike infrastructure is what led to the crash, and 2. making road victims have to hire lawyers just to get their medical bills paid.
Most likely one contraflow bike lane, plus one car lane with sharrow, like this.
Also, bike needs to be in the center of the lane to avoid the door-zone.
166·1 month agoWhy should taxpayers subsidize someone’s dumb decision to buy a Florida beach house?
1·1 month agoSure, but the article is claiming EV’s are now as cheap as ICE, which isn’t the case. The price parity is a result of subsidies and mandates. In Calif. we reached price “parity” a long time ago.
The price parity only due to regulations requiring minimum percentage of new cars to be zero or low emission.
41·1 month agoI live in one of the blue-ist cities in California and my city council refuses to build any housing near transit or build any bike or dedicated bus lanes. There was also an attempt to use school funds to pay for a new downtown parking garage. At this point, a Trump administration is the least of my climate worries…
This is why, even when you look at the underreported stats from the Netherlands, cyclists have very high rates of head injuries. They don’t wear helmets, have the gold-standard cycling infrastructure, yet crack their head open.
This is just completely wrong. Netherlands overall has half the per-capita TBI deaths as compared to the US. Now, is a higher portion of their TBI deaths bike-realated – I mean sure, because lots and lots of cycling is done there – and not as much car-driving. But your chances of getting your head smashed is lower overall compared to the US, even with our stupid obsession with helmets.
California: “First time?”

No it doesn’t say that at all.
In the SF Bay Area, it costs over $1 million just to build one “affordable” housing unit.
Idiocracy
The design of the car heavily influences driver behavior, so you can’t hand-wave away with “Tesla drivers are idiots”. A major issue is that the FSD, sensors, cameras, etc. all give a false sense of security, leading to drivers engaging in more risky behavior. The term for this is Risk Compensation.
