Why do US bike lanes (inc. protected ones) end at intersections - where protection is most needed? Without reliable and robust safety infrastructure, a bike lane will prioritize cars.

I love riding through the park where I obviously would never have to worry about a driver coming across the grass to hit me.

Michigan:
Automatic/Autonomous cars from Detroit to Ann Arbor is a must!!
Automatic traffic camera law enforcement is illegal
Seems like we’re extremely biased for cars

People react to incentives, so incentivize people to drive safely.
e.g. You'll save $100 every time you drive under the speed limit.

"I can't resist it!"
That's Dutch King Willem-Alexander putting a Van Raam cargo trike through its paces with 92 year old passenger Ida de Rooij.
He was visiting Zonnebloem, an organisation that supports adults with physical disabilities.

Hundreds of miles of Jersey Barriers along a highway highway extension, and none available to form a safer separate bicycle lane

Paris is making great strides in pedestrianization and bike infrastructure! Though recent, the results are already impressive.
Modal share in inner Paris (2024):
53.4% walking 🚶↗️
30% public transit 🚇↗️
11.2% biking 🚲↗️
Only 4.2% driving 🚗↘️
And you, is your city changing?

Today I learned about an actual scientific method/ish applied to highway design!
Conclusions were disappointing but did note that variable speed limit signs aren’t respected.

This week’s Economist cover story is brought to you by US automakers and regulators, both of whom have been ignoring car bloat for decades.

In two weeks, Miami school bus cameras cited 11,500 drivers in the first two weeks of school for not stopping, raising around 2 million dollars in fines.
Imagine what we’re missing by turning our back in Michigan.

Only in Hamtramck can you hear the Islamic Call to Prayer while sitting at the Pope John Paul statue watching a Bangla performance in the back of a pickup truck pass by as part of the Labor Day parade

Would love to see @EasternMarket care about bike parking as much as it cares about car parking. Overflowing on a Sunday.

The death of Gaudreau and his brother is tragic. And people are rightly placing blame on the drunk driver who hit them.
HOWEVER:
… the fault isn’t just with the drunk driver…
🧵
ALT Headline from the Toronto Star that reads “‘Our hearts are broken’: Sports world mourns the loss of Blue Jackets forward Johnny Gaudreau and brother Matthew. The brothers were killed after being struck by a suspected drunk driver Thursday night.”

Best micromobility work commuter? (Assume only taking a backpack and occasionally stop at grocery store)
Bikes are nice but I have a hard time finding safe storage for them. Can fold up an electric unicycle or scooter and roll it to the office or through grocery store. Thoughts?
