At one point Jason talks about how tragic it is that it takes a death for the council to do something about making a road safer.
Which is definitely true, but gods even that makes me wish I had a council as good as the ones in Montreal. Brisbane City Council doesn’t even give a fuck when there is a death. There can be a cyclist die on a road where safety advocates have been saying for years there’s a dire need for safety upgrades, and they still won’t even countenance improving the safety. They’d rather spend council resources repeatedly removing the ghost bikes set up at the location memorialising the killed cyclist.
This sounds like a good idea. I wish we had something like that where I live. I shouldn’t be able to be woken up in the middle of the night by a vehicle half a mile away. There’s no good reason for a vehicle to make that level of noise.
Why is there a huge influx of big American trucks in the Netherlands? It is visible that the last year or so it has increased significantly the number of those trucks around here… It would be great for a tax like that to be introduced in the Netherlands too
Every day, this road brings in 27000 cars right through the center of the city.
So, they did what any reasonable municipality would do. … They blocked it off to car traffic.
I just love the bold move. ❤️ Hope the experiment is successful and that they can make it permanent at some point.
