😀🚲Get to the crashes faster with *maps*, AI bullshit, blood drive, try to make SUVs suck less. The Wayne State stroads thing sounds somewhat useful but probably will just get used to justify flashing lights at too-many-lanes unprotected crossings. We're at the stage where you need to get people to drive less and that means removing extra car lanes. Improved <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transit</a> is needed but really the decision is how we prioritize use of street space. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InducedDemand</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckCars</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateAction</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/VisionZero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisionZero</a>

😀🚲The flaw in this logic, when you hit the capacity of a one-lane roundabout with bus bypass priority, is all you have to do is DGAF about capacity and people can drive somewhere else or stop driving. It's not going to be five lanes, it won't even be two. 😆 <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InducedDemand</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckCars</a>

😀🚲If your <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transportation</a> agency is counting cars and making decisions on lane widths or number of lanes based on this "demand", they are doing it wrong. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InducedDemand</a> is a two-way thing. Car traffic and parking will always expand to fill any space you give it. All thru lanes are optional choices and <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/trafficEngineers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trafficEngineers</a> are using fake science to perpetuate the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/climateDenial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateDenial</a> that is our built environment.

😀🚲"people are still debating the validity of the science despite ample evidence, and only those arguing for the short-term benefits have fully understood the futility of highway widening." <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InducedDemand</a> ggwash.org/view/97803/why-traffic-never-gets-better

😀🚲Of the cars that don't evaporate, the rest are a compressible fluid, albeit chunky and laggy. They'll be closer together at lower speeds and flow more smoothly if they don't stop and bunch-up (and get bored.) Bloodletting has more scientific merit than the standards by which we design and build car infrastructure. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/inducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inducedDemand</a>

😀🚲Reminder that <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InducedDemand</a> has never even once been defeated by <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/trafficEngineers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trafficEngineers</a> confidently hitching their thumbs into their suspenders and declaring "one more lane will fix congestion"

😀🚲But the real idiots are the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/trafficEngineers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trafficEngineers</a> counting these excess lanes as additional throughput when in reality they're the source of crashes and congestion. A quick <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BusLanes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BusLanes</a> reconfiguration and traffic would flow better, turning would be easier, the bus would run on time, and finding that the bike lane suddenly ends or becomes unusable with debris and a clogged storm drain wouldn't be such a big deal. Half of car trips are less than 3 miles, many lead here. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InducedDemand</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/stroads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stroads</a>

😀🚲The "transportation [highway]" dept with its long history of attempting to remove a beached whale carcass with dynamite while forever being unable to put a wayfinding sign in a location that won't cause a driver to merge too early (like into a lane that's ending before the exit)... these "Engineers" have calculated that we'll all die of traffic in 2 years if we don't widen the freeway, while study after study shows <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InducedDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InducedDemand</a> is undefeated in this contest. Fundamentally unserious proposals.

Dianora (Diane Bruce)It is extremely difficult for people to understand that widening roads does not help congestion as it seems contrary to "common sense".
