They park illegally on the sidewalk in Danish suburbs too, with an equal lack of enforcement.
There was at least some sort of sidewalk-ish thing here, which melded into a chicane like thing, 17 years ago.
Don’t love that allow cars into some pedestrianized places though. Old town Gothenburg:
Hello from Gothenburg, where they are not shy about taking away space from cars and using quarried cobblestone rock for drive lanes but not bike lanes.
If you’ve ever wondered what surfing in the middle of a city looked like, wonder no longer. Some random canal in the English Gardens in Munich:
ChatGPT define the arrogance of space: A spring market popup in the space of some 25 parking spots.
SF’s overwhelmingly popular Sunset night market drew 20k people over 7 blocks. So of course drivers and some businesses threw a fit and they ended up scaling it back to 5 blocks. www.kqed.org/arts/1398562...
Derby is a "tier 1" project in the upcoming bike plan just fyi. berkeleybikeplan.org/storage/app/...
I’ve seen more than my share of traffic fatality memorials, but after visiting the West Portal site commemorating this family, something profoundly sad took hold of me for the rest of the day. These tragedies are not one-offs. They are blaring alarms about where, how the next one will take place.
Also these pictures always omit the car sewers they are immediately adjacent to. Better than the US of course.
As in understand it, the law only applies to the approach side of intersections only.
When our car was stolen in Oakland. It wasn’t located for over two months. In that time it had been modified with upgraded exhaust, racing stripes and had been driven over 200 miles before being discovered completely totaled.
Neighbors: “You touch my parking I’m voting trump” Neighbors on street sweeping day:
Our children deserve better than to be forced to huddle together on a pork chop island in the middle of a slip-lane, which the city refuses to close. Not to mention the exposure to tire, brake and exhaust pollution.
The irony here is that Berkeley and Albanys' "parallel bikeways" project's will be delivered on a faster cadence (construction in early 2027) than would have been possible otherwise. Also, these sections of SPA are being designed in a way as to not preclude bus/bike lanes in the future.
