    You’re giving me flashbacks to the implementation of traffic roundabouts in my country. They’ve been used for a long, long time all over the world with minimal complication, but people were talking as though the cities were reinventing the fucking wheel. Long story short, they got installed anyways and work fine - much ado about nothing lol

      most conservative pushback goes like that. “This change is scary and bad!” -> change is good, actually. Often, the conservatives will then fight to defend against the thing they fought against before. It’s just kneejerk emotions.

        Too true, they’re easy as pie, and not so tricky as a pedestrian either (the queuing feels off because of the way that cars don’t automatically come to a stop at a red light).
