@koieyes Das bedeutet aber auch, es geht nicht schnell und es wird auch teurer. Aber an sich denke ich, wäre es wichtig bei Infrastruktur in Deutschland jetzt nicht wieder Milliarden in die Autoinfrastruktur zu investieren. wichtiger wäre vor allem beim Fussverkehr #walkability zu verbessern. Viele Milliarden. Leider kann jeder Euro nur ein Mal ausgegeben werden.

Great old video about a driver being judged in the afterlife for his "normal" but really irresponsible driving. His guardian angel finally got exhausted and slipped up.

Looking at the clock showing the growing count of traffic accidents and deaths, he asks the judge, "why don't you stop it?!"

The judge summarizes how the driver was generally an average driver, and how every driver is dangerous.

What can the world’s most walkable cities teach other places?

"Paris, for example, already ranks well: it takes most Parisians just eight minutes, on average, to reach key amenities on foot, and 93% of them live in 15-minute neighbourhoods. But the authors developed an algorithm to determine how the city’s current amenities could be moved in order to further improve its walkability "

การมองมุมแผนที่ street network มันบอกได้ว่าที่ไหนมีโอกาสน่าเดิน (เช่นเรื่อง #NodeDensity) แต่นั่นไม่ได้มาแทนประสาทการรับรู้คนที่เดินในนั้น โดนเฉพาะการมองเห็นอะไรบนถนน ในที่นี่มีเทียบให้ดูเลยว่าค่าแต่ละด้านเป็นยังไง (คนน่าจะไม่คุ้นที่สุดคือ enclosure สัดส่วนการแนบตัวของ 2 ข้างทางแนวตั้ง)การเข้าใจสิ่งที่เป็นอยู่ และสิ่งที่ควรจะเป็น เป็นหัวใจสำคัญของการตัดสินใจพัฒนา #walkability ที่ไหนอย่างไร

Opinion: Portland needs more cul-de-sacs

"Advocates have long dismissed cul-de-sacs as a suburban mistake...Rather than rejecting cul-de-sacs outright, Portland should borrow their best elements. We should design more residential streets where cars can’t cut through, but people walking and biking can. This is already a proven concept: Barcelona’s superblocks restrict vehicle access while keeping streets open for pedestrians and cyclists."

Some on Sarasota's Downtown Improvement District question removal of Main Street parking

Same article I've seen a zillion times, but I liked that that they discussed how many spots there were, as well as how many they were going to get rid of. It would have been even better if the headline was, "Business owners feel that 2000 downtown parking spots aren't enough, object to losing 100 of them to make area pedestrian-friendly".

Washingtonians who walk and roll, please add your names to this petition as "PRO" for HB 1518 that presumes liability whenever a motorist strikes a pedestrian or cyclist!

This bill is very important to me and the more we get these numbers up the better chances we will have during the upcoming hearing.
