I have literally been misreading this whole time. Sorry thx for the correction.

This was in Canada. Its a different country, eh?

What is an LTN and why does the article use that acronym in the first sentence without defining it anywhere??

You’re not comparing like for like. Those who get rich from onlyfans are the exception. The average onlyfans creator makes shockingly little.

Popular open source projects bring in a lot of money. The Blender foundation had €4 million in income in 2024.

Those who make it big and become successful earn orders of magnitude more than those who don’t. This is true for everything.

Induced demand is real. It is a very good idea to induce demand for traffic that is inexpensive and scales well, instead of the opposite.

They’re honest about it, crediting the picture to “Tranzito with The Streetsblog Photoshop Desk”.

Odd choice to photoshop Mamdani sitting in front of an example elsewhere instead of just using a picture of a similar installation in another city.

Collisions dropped suddently in 2020. What could have possibly caused it???

There is a quick fix, sealed beams.

There was a time when all cars in the US had round headlights. That’s because there was only one headlight and all cars were mandated by law to use it. That law can be reimplemented at any time. It would fix the headlights as soon as it goes into effect.

Car makers would hate it. It would ruin a lot of their styling and marketing having to use the one and only headlight. Which would make it an effective deterrant. Any major government using sealed beam laws as a threat would make the industry self regulate quickly.

It has nothing to do with climate and everything to do with the built environment. Cities built for people are pleasent to walk in everywhere. Cities in hot climates that predate cars have dense construction and narrow streets, which provides shade, which makes it fine to walk.

In texas they do the exact opposite. Sprawling oceans of scorching asphalt with buildings so far apart they provide no shade whatsoever. Its not the climate its the built environment.

Proprietary security screws have existed for a long time. There’s a reason they’re using their logo, and its not vanity, its a weaponization of trademark law. Recreating the tip would mean recreating a trademark without authorization.

Few reputable companies will be willing to take that risk.

There is a sign that says no parking in front, paid parking behind. Its clearly visible in the picture I attached to my comment if your instance can display it.

Parking kiosks are not regulatory signs, which is why I mentioned the sign rather than the kiosk.

Parking is by plate not space. There are no individually marked parking spots on this street.

Because its a probably legal parking space. City painted the bus lane about a car length too soon, or the no parking sign a car length too late.

Found the location on street view. The bus lane is a weird partial bus lane that only exists on part of the block. Most of the lane is available for parking.

The bus lane areas are painted red, and there is a sign at the start saying no parking/tow away zone. But they aren’t aligned properly. The red pavement starts about a car legnth before the no parking/tow away sign.

In most traffic codes, signage takes precidence over painted markings on the street. So as far as I can tell, the truck in the picture is parked legally, despite being on red pavement.

This is some particularly stupid street design, and this post is an incredibly manipulatively framed picture, with the sign just out of frame, but not an example of illegal street parking.

Why is there a parking payment kiosk next to the bus lane on a road with no street parking? Something isn’t adding up here.

The issue is that most modern lithium ion batteries have not reached their end of life. It will be a good source in the future, but they are in limited supply at the moment.

Km/h is correct. KPH is wrong.

Mi/h is wrong. MPH is right.

Someone got confused and used the wrong form of abbreviation for speeds. KPH stands for Kilometers per Hour, and is a sign of a lack of proofreading. Yes I am also bothered.

The routes themselves are bad. The tunnels run below already existing state highways. It saves them admin time only having to get approval from the agency that manages the highways, but makes it a poor choice for a transit line.

A conversion could be useful for getting people to the city center from the airport. But any station along the route would be difficult to access, unpleasant to be in, and be of little use to anyone being buried under a highway.

From the article,

terrain Boring will have to navigate: the tricky, sinkhole-prone limestone bedrock of middle Tennessee. The construction risks range from collapsing the ground beneath a heavily traveled state highway, to knocking out utility connections, to flooding the tunnel with groundwater.

The ability to cut the rock is not the only challenge in boring tunnels. Regardless of the type of rocks it runs through, making tunnels using a TBM is one of the slowest and most expensive ways of making a tunnel. Its best to use other techniques, unless a TBM is the only option, which it isn’t for this project.

The proposed airport line runs directly beneath sr41, and the second line is under sr70s. Just like Vegas it goes directly under preexisting roads, so they don’t have to deal with the administrative headache or costs of acquiring the rights to dig under private property. In cases like this it is far cheaper to use cut and cover.

In cut and cover, you build a shallow tunnel by digging a trench, putting the tunnel in the trench, then burying it. Its the most cost effective way to make urban metro tunnels in most cases, but it does require shutting down part of the road to construct. However those carbrained enough to think chauffeur driven cars are mass transit, will consider temporarily closing a few lanes on the surface during construction to be unacceptable.

Cities will start and end school zones within a quarter mile of each other. The safer option would be to have the street stay a school zone for its entire length, but no. I’ve seen many cases of “end school zone, speed limit 35” signs just before the start of a school zone. There’s no way that isn’t fine to farm tickets at the expense of children’s safety.

American streets are dangerous for children. The solution should be to make the streets safe, everywhere all the time. A temporary speed limit in a few spots doesn’t fix anything.

• Traffic calming devices don’t require healthcare.

• Continuous sidewalks do not shoot people.

• Modal filters don’t go on strike.

• Safe street design cannot take bribes.

There are better options than you proposed.
