We donthat because we found that wide roads make people drive faster unconsciously. If you design roads badly, people will speed, it will be dangerous. Design roads better and you save lives.

Putting up signs is what most countries have done for decades with exactly 0 results.

A slightly different post had road fatalities in a graph for the US, Canada, and Australia, showing insane levels of road deaths. A secondary graph was added showing the Netherlands at a fraction of those countries, even though the Netherlands is much more densly populated.

Wanna know why? Because the Netherlands does this all the time. Any time an intersection has a lot of accidents, they break up the damn thing and put in a completely newly designed one, and traffic deaths go down. A road has too much speeding? They’ll tear out that crap, put in a new road designed in such a way that people will automatically drive the correct speed et voila, speeding stops, Ross fatalities go down

That’s why you want to do that

This is something that has been proven over and over. Make the roads smaller and people automatically start driving slower.

Sure, thereay still be an eventually asshole but with the right design you could make a risky (for you) 80 in a 60 zone, but you can’t do 100 because you wouldn’t make it. That already helps curbing the worst but it’s also a psychological thing that makes most people slow down to the speed that you want. It’s much more effective than speeding cameras but it doesn’t make money

It costs money, which the EU has a lot more than Canada

Then make those serious filters obligatory

So of the billions they made with that they have to pay a small fee.

Oh noes

Jail them!

Because its true?

Barely anything had been done these past decades and the result is that boat loads of people now believe conspiracy crap over the actual truth that climate change will milk us all

I fully expect that even less will be done in the next years so yeah, were screwed

Technically, we can. We probably will be able to do that a few hundred years from now and a few hundred years is nothing to something like the sun

Exactly, because we don’t have enough CO2 in the air, yet! Moar!

Would they care much at this point? They’d lose that job anyways, it’s trump. At least they went out with their heads held high

things like this have already been happening for months

I read in Dutch news papers that Dutch scientists are working closely with their US counterparts to copy, save, and rescue as much data as possible

It’s such a sad state of affairs but then again, IDGAF. Americans chose this, deal with it. Your country is over, you’re done for. Once you lose science and scientists, you’re building your own end.

I get what you’re saying but I’m not seeing this as “electric cars suck” but more as “we found another place where we can improve”

This seems to me an issue that can be fixed with a few air filters which would require very infrequent replacements

Billionaires really are working hard to buy this shit hole country aren’t they?

Revolut has nice virtual cards, i use them all the time

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement claiming Chavez Jr has an arrest warrant back in Mexico for his alleged involvement in trafficking firearms, explosives and ammunition while he’s also being accused of being an affiliate of the Sinaloa Cartel

Assuming that any of that is true (and I guess it is as this would come from Mexico, not trump) then this is actually someone that any country would want to deport. Hell, Mexico would want to deport this piece of trash.

That is, again, if the above is correct

How about instead of speed cameras you change your road designs? People won’t speed if they cannot speed safely.

Make your roads less wide. Add some curves, depending on required max speed, you make the curves larger or smaller. On lower speed roads, add obstacles to drive around.

There are many forms of traffic management that don’t require speeding cameras but then again, speeding cameras are for making the government money, not for traffic safety

Hah, they completely dropped that pretence. Why go through all the trouble of lying about it if you can just give your constituents the finger instead?

Pretty much this for me too, only I already switched in 2002. It really wasn’t that hard leaving windows behind, even back then

Yeah, something bad happened? Israel did it!

This is not a realistic or helpful attitude

Basically: wanna live healthy and forever? Just become a billionaire! If you don’t want to live healthy then I guess that’s your choice to make.
