The council being cheap lazy bastards have said ‘ooh… More temporary signs. That should work!’.
Restaurant owner: speed camera to dish out fines. Make them pay!
Road design should be that it’s impossible to approach that roundabout at speed. All good road design dictates driver behaviour, not allow them to make rash or irrational choices that endanger others.
It’s also an accessibility feature so people don’t have to do the invariable up and down from kerbs into the road when using mobility aids or pushchairs with kids/shopping etc
One problem no one has mentioned, is that it also makes life a lot harder for homeless people.
But to those who organise those systems, they’re not consumers with disposable income or a credit line to spend. They are happy for them to fall through the cracks and people not using cash penalises them further by eradicating charity and widening divisions.
It is functioning as designed.
I never experience that when cycling in Europe, only in the UK but then Europeans don’t have that culture war bullshit of “the war on motorists” that’s leaned into heavily by the right wing press.

And you can find endless videos on all SM about how they bricked within hours of delivery
A substantial number are turning into paperweights within hours of delivery so their value has already tanked
Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!
Exactly. If critical mass is achieved inorganically, it would result with a reverse in uptake & possibly even a revolt against it.
You can lead a horse to water… (but a pencil must be lead)
It’s really hard to convey certain subtleties in text. It’s all good!
No, I was definitely suggesting you could but could you? Especially people like the person who made the half literate other reply
You’re a fucking idiot if you think roads were only built for the transportation of goods & services as they were superceded by canals then by railways.
It was a massive step backwards in inefficiency in an orchestrated move by vehicle manufacturers that freight was shifted back to roads.
And the guys (yes, more than one) carrying fridges on their shoulders while cycling, have more fucking balls than you’ll ever dream of having.
When I used to be on twitter and in response to idiotic comments like that, I would post the video of the guy cycling with a fridge on his back, one of someone moving a piano, several tradesmen that quit their vans to use cargo bikes, the pedal cab company in London (proper cargo bikes not the shitty tourist things) and the mother of 6 from Portland that had a cargo bike to take them all to school.
It used to shut them up
As well as all the vehicles that mount the pavements then seriously injure and kill over 350 people each year

Roads existed before cars & it was cycling organisations that campaigned to have them tarmacked & sealed for everyone’s benefit
Pavements were not built for vehicles yet in the UK over 350 people are killed or seriously injured by vehicles mounting it.

It’s going to take several generations to remove the shit stain of “vehicular cycling” that John Forester has left behind
The idea of a government or at least a democratic consensus and few people spearheading certain efforts does make sense in my mind.
Most people cannot imagine a world without a state. It’s absolutely ingrained from an early age that we cannot survive without one so people do not even consider alternatives.
People with power/money are actively coopting every entity that can limit their power. You cant change that.
Because those with power will always try to assert it over those with none. There is an inane belief that being endowed with wealth and/or power somehow makes them morally superior.
Guillotines quickly dispel that myth! ;)
if the government goes, another form of government comes and it will not be great because people arent educated and self thinking enough for that.
As soon as people invest in their community and begin putting into place structures of support, the time will come when the state is removed, becomes impossible to reinstate unless those community structures are destroyed, because why would you need the state if people are doing things for themselves better, more efficiently and with less corruption?
Our dependency on the state is nurtured because it exists only to maintain the status quo of the wealth & power of the elite class.
It is impossible to reform such a corrupt institution.
Exactly. The government cracks the whip but the rich own it.
Get rid of the rich & the govt will just transfer ownership of the whip to another entity.
I’m banking on it being a grift so it will raise a lot of funds for the person who set it up!
If the prick wants people on-call 24 hours a day then he needs to pony up the wages to match with accompanying extended holiday for downtime.
