Biking is about as fast as driving for short trips, given decently effective bike infrastructure where you can average 15-20mph. Granted, much of the bike infrastructure is not safe or even okay at those speeds, and half the time it ends into multiple wide high-speed car lanes where you just get […]

Yes. Unfortunately I'm the only entrant in this winter #carryShitOlympics today. 48°F must be too cold 🥶 for American men and women.

Ridiculously wide stroad

Wouldn't it be amazing if fatal street designs went through this level of scrutiny? #stroads #ntsb #VisionZero
roads are for safety... 🫠 I can't even fathom the stupidity of these people. #ZeroVision

#notAllDrivers, but certainly the ones who make our infrastructure so dangerous, are such foolish and short-sighted thrill seekers that they'll constantly take risks to get ahead, only to be waiting in line next to the same calm and careful drivers over and over again. #BusLanes the #stroads […]

"wearing high-visibility clothing could actually make the technology less likely to spot a person", and that test was done at 25mph but "over] 80% of pedestrian deaths in the U.S. occurred on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or greater" #ZeroVision #FuckCars [#stroads […]
@brenttoderian.bsky.social the state governor / dept of transportation's #stroads is what keeps most US cities from having a safe and complete bikeway network (and probably usable transit too, since the governor appoints that board.)
Cars don't bring customers if the drivers are too busy trying not to wreck on the #stroad to even look out the window and know your business is there. Some know, but are scared to turn into your parking lot because they might get rear-ended by the driver behind them. What year is this, why are […]
A daytime view of a multi-lane road in Mississauga, Ontario, with cars driving and modern high-rise buildings visible in the background under a clear sky. Power lines run along the left side of the road. Deets: I've got people saying Burnhamthorpe Rd is six lanes. This is not the case through the entire length of this stroad. There's mostly two lanes in each direction with a middle 5th turning lane.

A street-level view of a city street lined with tall, modern buildings under a clear sky. In the foreground, a multi-lane road stretches into the distance, with several cars visible and traffic lights showing red. On either side of the road, numerous streetlights stand tall. In the background, distinct architectural buildings rise, including a prominent, uniquely curved skyscraper and other high-rise residential or commercial buildings. The image has a watermark in the bottom left corner: "Photography by Douglas ©2025 DarkWaterPhotoMedia."

Mississauga - Burnhamthorpe West, into the city's downtown core. The sun is taking a nose dive right about now. 🤠🤙

Why do people even drive in the curb lane on #stroads? I think maybe it's the highway / freeway mentality of staying out of the "passing lane", but then the #honky assholes never seem to conform to that anyway. Would there be less honking if I just bike in […]

Project of bike lanes that would serve the north ward high school...
Portland blvd is a 4 lane stroad, with curb parking, through mostly detached homes n'hood.
Local resident living on said stroads worries: bikes lanes will have a major impact on our lives, we need consultations

How much of the settlement is PBOT+TriMet paying? How much the country club? Also note the city renews the liquor/beer license of every business once a year, regardless of the availability or quality of bike parking or surplus of car parking and lack of bike infrastructure at the location. ffs […]

No amount of pedestrians standing in the hot sun can satisfy a highway #trafficEngineers' traffic model while zero cars go by for half of the time. People are just crossing because standing there to cook vs judging the risk for themselves, obvs. #stroads #FuckCars #BanCars #ClimateCrisis […]
2/3 Most of which are: “where’s the road”, “this will make Vietnam vets a nightmare”, “where’s the parking lot?”, and “this’ll be great for pan handlers”.
Is this America now? We see progress and just loathe it because we’re so brainwashed into #stroads and endless parking lots?
A really great informative read of how we can better design roads in #Ottawa to protect vulnerable road users.
And to hear from a resident with such intimate knowledge of how street/road design can impact safety, businesses and livability is so valuable and rare! 🚶♀️🧑🦼🚲
