You want to "add red lights" or "build sidewalks" to increase road safety, I want to release a shit ton of wolves into the street
We are not the same

Yet somehow motorists first argument is “we can’t afford protected bike lanes and active transport”
Cars are the most expensive for cities to support.

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in Copenhagen🇩🇰?’
I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it?’ 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure..bicycling.”~ @mortenkabell

I saw a cyclist roll through a stop sign once
1) why is this a legal option
2) this is in a 55 mph zone
3) Tesla is enticing users to break the law with the instruments

Great thread full of examples why we need to get rid of cars in the cities.
People often respond to proposals to turn road apace back to people space with anger at the change, yet so many places around the world that we now take for granted went through this transition. One case in point: Washington Square in NYC. Please share your examples!

Now is a good as time as any to remind everyone that right turns on red have no business in any area that is likely to have pedestrian traffic...or SHOULD have pedestrian traffic.
