Multiple dozens, no really!

A memo on the new format for TPS reports

I’m not advocating for this system anywhere, just that crosswalks should be more then enough in a lot of circumstances. Clearly, it’s not in Quebec.

Your statement that rolling a stop sign is less likely then a crosswalk seems crazy to me. They are both a stop sign. Both fines are very expensive here.

But the crosswalk is a stop sign if a pedestrian is using it in most modern traffic codes, and even if you are only about to use it (visible intent to cross), 80 countries agree that is enough to give you right of way on a crosswalk. Visually a crosswalk is just completely unmistakable, so what would adding another stop sign do?

If those rules are unclear, maybe trafic education is lacking? Or maybe repercussions are not enough, maybe increase the fines or chance to get fined?

Interestingly Qatar, Macao and Singapore place the burden of safety on the pedestrians while crossing a crosswalk(very cool for pedestrians, famously lacking about 1 to 2 tons of steel cage to protect them during a collision with a car).

What the frick!

If by Hungary he means himself, then yeah, sure.

Thanks, that helped. It wasn’t such a bad problem, but even then there was a fix al along! First time I ever had to put a piece of mobile software in the correct phone (android) mode :) .

The Netherlands

Yeah as in born and raised. I guess the raised part is most important for this.

I heavily doubt this list. As a NL native, I would guesstimate that probably the first 50/150 on this list should be dutch cities. Ofc that would be a boring list, but I have been in somewhere between 50 and a 100 EU cities and it looks to me like we have an extreme luxury here with our biking situation.

I’ve seen some larger cities in EU that seemed doable on the bike, but even then, lanes end at random spots and the network is incomplete. Are you supposed to mount the curb in those situations? Or take your chances mixing in motorized traffic with your 20kg vehicle? And the smaller EU cities I’ve seen weren’t better.

Plus, Amsterdam could be fun to bike around if it wasn’t bursting at the seams from the high amount of tourist bike noobies trying their first few km on the pedals. I’m happy they’re here, but it’s not an improvement to biking 😄 better off taking the tram.

I have no more excuses, the line has already been crossed. I was getting ready to move over to Linux last year, but this is the real year. I had to move houses and it cost a bit more energy then expected. I now expect to give my final good-byes to proprietary PC operating systems this feb/march.

I use a streamdeck combined with soundpad software as a soundboard on W10/11, and that functionality is not 1-1 on Linux. Whatevs. I’ll have to do without some options I had on windows. I’ll get there.

I’ve lived in cities with bicycle eating tracks, where I rode my bicycle. I get that technology can fix it, but it’s such a non-issue in my view. You get dunked on once, then you know to never align with the tracks when crossing them, you make sure you cross them with a larger angle (45 degrees between the tracks and your wheels seems pretty safe). And they never got dunked on by the tracks, ever again :).
