In two years presumably. It’s been two years away since 2015.

So we can build things to a somewhat lower capacity sure. That helps, but what exactly does it solve?

Even if we assume everyone can work from home, people still need to go places for other reasons.

What’s the difference?

Anti car doesn’t mean completely banning cars. Nobody is saying to replace ambulances with bus trips. There’s obviously a need and cars would be much more effective for those things if the roads weren’t clogged with people who don’t have a need.

Fast & frequent public transport, safe cycling infrastructure, footpaths, just putting things closer together to reduce the need for transport

The only solution to car traffic is building viable alternatives to driving. Alternatives also bring many environmental and societal benefits.

It’s Shanghai, Yan’an Road West. You can see the front of Jing’an Temple and the adjacent mall in the distance. There’s definitely some editing weirdness going on on the road in the foreground though.

Should it not be double foldable? It has two folds

Traffic flows best at 20mph. Here’s a scientific study that proves it (pdf warning)

Lower speeds have a huge impact on the pedestrian you hit. There’s a big difference between the fatality rates at 30mph Vs 20mph

Insurance companies have also seen a drop in claims with the 20mph speed limits

New roads don’t reduce traffic, they create more. It’s called induced demand. We should be building viable alternatives to driving.

You can get a permit to carry a gun in Switzerland if you actually have a good reason for it, like being a security guard. Otherwise you can transport it to your shooting range as long as it isn’t loaded. So I wouldn’t really say she could carry that in this context.

I live somewhere that very much isn’t car dependant, but there’s still too many of them and it’s still shitty. But I do agree that for those times that they’re still necessary, the smaller the better.

The offer was always about capacity rather than speed, something which is clearly desperately needed.

At least at one major auto maker, environmental and serious health concerns are outweighing its aesthetic appeal.

Are they going to stop making cars with huge front hoods which are hugely dangerous to pedestrians? Or stop marketing their cars as if they’re meant to be driven dangerously?

Are these people all paying the $50,000 fine for selling to early?

brb going to upload some fanfics as pdfs to S3 with not for public release in the title

This exists, Amtrak even runs one called the Auto Train, but it’s a lot more efficient to just leave the cars behind and put the people straight on the train.

As a brit I don’t see this being enforced in the UK. The gov would be too scared that trump or an ally would come to power and we can’t risk effecting the special welationship 👉👈
