We don’t even need to do new; lots of the world has proven and new trials on safe streets ongoing.

the cost of bringing just 1 road up to safer standards is more than operating a dozen cameras

Absolutely. It also makes sense to wait for the 20 or 45 year mill and resurface or utility repair so that you aren’t tearing up a road for nothing*.

That said, you can also narrow a road with paint in 1-2 years by adjayting existing lines for zero new dollars.

Were also still building NEW roads with standards we know are unsafe. It costs 0 dollars on a new road.

*by nothing I mean finacial costs, not the human life and limb costs.

Swap windows home server for server on the last page and you’re done.

Until your kid is 7/8, then you need to explain why one server isn’t enough and you need a second server somewhere else for the same reasons it shows a server being important when the computer gets pee on it.

Hard to say, I don’t know how EU ETD minimums and individual member states works.

That also wouldn’t cover any externality costs from something like a heavy or large EV.

Bring in vehicle weight, vehicle displacement, and engine displacement annual fees at the same time.

Want an asshole vehicle? Fine, pay extra for your externalities of a heavy vehicle, large engine, and/or large vehicle.

All bike infrastructure is car infrastructure.

We wouldn’t need any bike infrastructure if we just limited all roads to 30kph.

Jersey barriers work in these cases.

I don’t wipe down at work, but I’ve got a hose in my garage at home. I just give it a rise and lube every week or two. My work also uses gravel instead of salt; and the city has been leaning away from salt, so that reduces the damage a fail bit.

I’ve never hit a patch of ice by surprise, so when I see them coming up I put my feet over the sides to catch myself if I fall and throttle my way through if I can’t glide the whole way. Kiddo goes in the trailer for the winter since the bigger safety risk is tipping, also keeps her out of the wind. Come to think of it, the strong winds here is probably what keeps my routes clear more than anything else.

I haven’t done studded tires yet, haven’t found it necessary, but my radbike has wide tires to begin with, and I pressure down to 30 psi.

Everyone SHOULD wear a helmet.

No one should HAVE to wear a helmet.

I didn’t ride in the winter on my acoustic bike.

Once I switched to an ebike, wind never bothers me, and îl ride until -25° windchill. That cutoff is because that’s the temperature daycare stops putting my kid outside. Once she can better express and dress herself well be able to push that limit.

Otherwise, there were a handful of days i didnt ride because the roads were cleared, but none of ym bike paths yet. Calgary probably has better route clearance that Kingston ON (at least based on what ive seen watching Shifter).

My personal suggestion is to try riding in the winter, but it’s not a competition, take transit instead if you want. I didn’t even intend to ride in the winter, I just didn’t stop.

Cities don’t make cities hot, bare pavement makes cities hot.

Unless it’s for roads and parking.

I believe you, but I’d still like to see it first.

Why didn’t the eagles simply drop Frodo an e-bike?

Yes we do. REM in Montréal, skytrain in Vancouver

Sure, but it is about 4% as many injuries as cars, and about 0.2% as many fatalities. https://medium.com/vision-zero-cities-journal/the-myth-of-the-demon-biker-64cb24939cd6

Also, the majority of these collisions are caused by not having proper segregation of road users. Cyclists and pedestrians get slammed into the margins of roads dedicated to cars, causing the conflicts.

Adopting zision zero solves the problem regardless.

WHY THE HELL DRIVE AT ALL? 😡

Becuase we make the transition experience for everyone outside a car shitty as fuck in Canada.

My town does this with red light cameras.

We’ve got two dozen camera housings, and a half dozen cameras. Sometimes they announce where the cameras are, sometimes they don’t.

If people are bad at driving, then you need more non-driving options so they don’t have to drive.

I’ve got a friend in the Toronto area who is a terrible driver, knows she’s a terrible driver, and is insured at terrible driver rates; but there’s just no practical alternative for her.

Stop signs should generally be replaced with roundabouts and speed tables. Stop signs that get ignored are a great example of design not matching needs.
