"Travel behavior is not merely objective or rational in the economic sense (Groeger 2002). There are aspects of vehicle design and the larger transportation system that cause or exacerbate human emotions, biases, social stereotypes, and willingness to behave interpersonally in ways particular to the roadway"

Kigali’s junction upgrades are critical, but without improvements in public transport, rising vehicle traffic will erase their benefits.

Aerial view of a busy intersection in Kigali, Rwanda, showing a large crossroads with white striped crosswalks on all four sides. The center of the intersection is overlaid with a yellow grid pattern. Heavy traffic is visible with numerous cars lined up on the right side of the image, while crowds of people can be seen gathered near vehicles in the upper portion. The intersection is surrounded by paved areas, green spaces, and landscaping, illustrating the urban infrastructure improvements mentioned in Rwanda's junction upgrade plans.

Im encouraging everyone to follow the account of one of my fav video makers, NotJustBikes 😍🚲

@notjustbikes.

NotJustBikes makes the best videos unpacking how our cities could be soo much better if we bought some good design and moved away from cars and made our spaces walkable and people centric. See their bio for links to their videos.

Extra special is that here on Mastodon is their main social media presence (outside video posts), and they do not want cross posting of their posts onto the capitalist platforms. Absolute legend.

So since we are on Mastodon you can very much follow them at the account above.

New to Mastodon? Consider following any of these hashtags if you’re interest to follow these topics further.

Wouldn't it be nice if the majority of streets in every city were like this. Human scale, green, people, bike, scooter, wheelchair friendly, slow and quiet. Cars are permitted but are not allowed to dominate the street. (Lambeth Oval Low Traffic Neighbourhood)

Cafe on a street in Lambeth, London. Notable because it is nice and green, people are sat outside a cafe eating. It feels safe, intimate, inviting and human scale.

A slime mold once recreated Tokyo’s rail system
No, really.
In 2010, scientists put oat flakes on a Tokyo map. Then let loose a slime mold.
This is the city that turned chaos into structure.
