Sorry, I thought it fit the theme quite clearly as it shows how a car centric infrastructure hurts us all, including animals. That huge parking lot could have been housing, or a park, or perhaps a big ass tub for them to swim in. (ps: I’m not saying they should be locked up in the first place, as the sea is right over there where they could roam freely though)

They should make rain gardens in front of fire hydrants instead of leaving the space open for parking

I’m team seagulls until I hear more about this nilla incident

Big trucks and SUV loopholes probably

In fact if you reduce your vehicle costs by using other transit modes, you may even save money

There is a very good video from CityNerd where he does that comparison of the car free dividend, called “Walkable Cities But They Keep Getting More Affordable”

From the description: If you ditched your car, could you afford to leave the suburbs for a great urban neighborhood? We’ll answer the question in the 26 biggest US cities.

There are several countries where homicide is higher than traffic fatalities, but it is usually ridiculously high homicide rates:

Countries Where Homicide Rate Exceeds Traffic Death Rate
Country Homicide Rate (per 100k) Traffic Death Rate (per 100k)
Saint Kitts and Nevis 64.16 23.1
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 51.32 4.8
Jamaica 49.44 17.8
Ecuador 45.72 23.4
South Africa 43.72 24.5
Haiti 41.15 31.3
Trinidad and Tobago 40.44 5.0
Saint Lucia 39.04 8.9

Helsinki had zero traffic deaths for twelve months. If those policies keep rolling out country wide, we should have it soon

PDF alert, almost every link will lead to a PDF

Oslo also made their manual available, look for the file “Street-design-manual_ENG” for the english version:

They get those bonus points, you can see the grade level difference by looking at the angles of those curbs. Construction progress can be seen on google maps back in 2020: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FB8dtRKbdueiQLuQ9

And it isn’t like it’s hidden behind closed doors. They literally have the manuals available online for anyone to access it

Costs, they can’t spare another dime on it, but another car lane is always on budget

I can’t see content from piracy@dbzero or whatever now

Does that include comments?

The suspense is killing me

What kind of instability are we talking here? Was it trying to slither on the pavement?
