> Once a car-reducing policy is implemented and people can experience the results themselves, resistance fades. The concerns—often fueled by misinformation—rarely materialize. Instead, the positive effects of calmer, safer, and more livable streets become visible to everyone.

The transformation of Paris into a cycling city is no different than the making of any cycling city. Reallocate public space to #transportation modes that don't cost you more than they're worth. 🎉 :bollard: :bollard: :bollard: #bollards

#bollards are peaceful resistance. We need more bollards.

> Big snowstorms tend to reveal huge swaths of public space that drivers simply don't use — they appear as piles of snow and show us all exactly where neckdowns could easily be built. Hence, #sneckdown.

omg why did I only learn about the East Oxford Bollard Wassailers today? Fine good tradition. Hope they did it again this year. oxfordclarion.uk/here-we-go-a-

Underneath a pedestrian plaza between brutalist buildings is a two lane road. From above, the worn lane markings seem to read "Way Car" and "Out Park." Double-yellow lines and brightly-painted bollards line the thoroughfare. San Francisco Libre Walk, Reading, Berkshire, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

I wish politicians who pander to cyclists with "filling potholes is a bike-safety issue" would also bring the #bollards of #modalFiltering to stop cars from being brought back to ruin the street right after it's fixed. #BanCars #FiscalResponsibility

me: *low whistles*
me: "Damn, check out THOSE bollards!"

8yo: "What?"

me: "These metal things. they're nice, aren't they? No drivers parking on this sidewalk!"

8yo: *lays down on one*
8yo: "Yeah, they're good, I guess."

A manhattan street corner at night. It's fairly dark (what's up w/ the lack of lights??), but along the border of the sidewalk are some metal bollards that are rectangles on one side, and 5 sides on the other (one sloped side that you can lean on) on the other. They're spaced about 3ft apart, and they're probably 15" wide. One bollard basically divides the sidewalk in half.Another angle of the bollards, this time taken FROM the street corner towards the end of the block. The bollards extend the entire length of the block, at least 30 metal bollards visible but you can't really see how many more go down due to distance and people walking on the sidewalk. The vertical side of the bollards face out towards the street, and then 45deg angled side faces towards the building.Another shot taken from the street corner, this time facing the street and crosswalk. One bollard sits in the middle of the curb ramp top landing, which is absolutely an ADA violation. The ramp tactile mat also faces out towards the middle of the intersection rather than facing the crosswalks, but again - fuck disabled people, amirite?

But at least the bollards are nice!

Not Sure, what’s going on with ad engines nowadays, but #Reddit thinks I’m in need of #Bollards? 🤨

Build better bike infrastructure, get better drivers.

Neither of these examples is good infrastructure #pdxBikes. 4th is on the wrong side of the street, NE Broadway is mostly paint. It doesn't matter if it costs millions of dollars, it only matters if it makes drivers fear damage to the precious. #Bollards #StuffInTheStreet #FuckCars

@anon_opin @worldbollard The majority of BMW owners do this to avoid bollards, but it doesn't work. Bollards *will* get BMWs, with or without their badges. #WorldBollardAssociation #bollards

A dark blue Chevy pickup has lost a battle with a bollard.  We are in a parking lot and the driver appeared to be aiming for a spot but is basically at a 45° angle to the spot so they're not lined up well.  The big problem is that they must have been going at least 20 MPH when they hit the bollard since their front bumper is completed crumpled and beginning to wrap around the bollard.  The bottom of the grill is crushed and it looks like the hood is even popped a little bit.  The bollard saved the car parked correctly on the other side of the bollard.  There's some broken parts littering the ground and amongst the debris is a "no parking" sign, presumably knocked down in the mayhem, but I have no idea where that's from.

@ascentale #bikeNite A8 more of a question really, why are architects able to use real #bollards but #trafficEngineers can't somehow / all bike lanes get is paint? #bikeTooter #paintIsNotProtection

Some thick honkin bollards.
