In Sachen #Urbanismus hat #Marseille schon noch den einen oder anderen Eindruck zu bieten. #CarsRuinCities hätte hier noch Potential, opfert man doch die unvergleichliche Aussicht vom absoluten Wahrzeichen der Stadt dafür, dass man einen Stau wegen Parkplatzsuche davor provoziert. Aber im Brûloir (hihi) wird einem dafür dann wieder vergeben. Aber sonst richtet es der Sepp-Blatter-Gedächtnis-Fussballplatz. Oder die #Blasphemie des Gitarrenlehrers.

As the man in the cartoon said: "Now, explain to me what you were TRYING to do... when this happened."

#SlowStreets #CarsRuinCities

A stop sign on a sidewalk, vaguely draped with caution tape and a couple of traffic cones.  It's bent over at about a 45° angle, and given the steep grade of the street it's facing, that brings it fairly fairly close to the ground.  The street on the opposite side of the intersection is a dead end.  The direction the sign post was hit from is indicated by a freshly-cut arc gouged out of the asphalt coming from one of the cross streets (which also has stop signs, and forms one end of a Slow Street.)

“But if we block the street to cars, it will kill local businesses!”

Photo of a pedestrian-only street in Nice, France.  The street is packed with people dining on patios and shopping and just enjoying themselves.  In the foreground are retractable bollards that block vehicle entrance at most times.  There is a sign saying in French that deliveries are allowed between 4am and 10:30am

“We’re learning more about a controversial proposal that would reduce Portland’s carbon footprint while also adding an extra burden to struggling downtown Portland businesses.”

Gibt es so etwas wie vorauseilendes Mitleid?

Ich bedauere aufrichtig und möchte mich im Namen der gesamten Menschheit bei den Historiker*innen entschuldigen, die in kommenden Jahrhunderten zu ergründen versuchen, wie es zur Gleichzeitigkeit der #KlimaKatastrophe und dieser Werbung kommen konnte:

FFS. the meadows is again being used as a free car park. I can see the need to have 1 van nearby for loading, but definitely not a bloated luxury SUV with vanity plates blocking the footpath
#ParksNotParking #CarsRuinCities #Edinburgh

Bloated black Audi SUV reg Y11XVX and two white vans completely blocking the pedestrian half of North Meadow Walk, forcing people into the adjacent cycle lane. There are festival hoardings and trees behind.

Traffic pollution contributes to more than 1,800 premature deaths per year (in Australia)

"The new research, led by the University of Tasmania's Centre for Safe Air, estimates particulate and nitrogen dioxide pollution from traffic leads to more than 1,800 earlier than expected deaths a year, or more than the 2024 road toll of 1,300 fatalities."

"If you take all this parking for a bike lane, where will I park my car? You're not considering my needs!"

A comic by showing two people on bicycles riding along, a person that has just parked and exited their car says "If you take all this parking for a bike lane, where will I park my car? Your not considering my needs!".
In the background is multiple lanes of cars driving and behind that is many multi-level car parks. The entire world is taken up by cars.

A gray Citroën 2CV, a classic French economy car with a soft canvas roof, is parked on a dusty cobblestone street in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The car shows signs of age but is well maintained. It sits against a weathered brick and concrete wall covered in graffiti and old posters. A pile of firewood and a makeshift bench are visible nearby.
