Driving into the future? @waymo.bsky.social gave me a list in Austin. Takeaways: it drives the speed limit, it yields to pedestrians, & is smoother than I thought

Analytical measures for cities assessing transportation need to improve. Traffic engineering community needs more research & refinement of methods to adequately assess the comfort of users & perceptions of safety that would help us address public health goals #VisionZero @thewaroncars.bsky.social

“We will never be Amsterdam” is an argument against bike infrastructure… but in a climate change future, you’re going to hope your City is more like Amsterdam when the water is approaching

The suburb south of Portland, #milwaukie has created some nice links with cycletracks that feel like off-street paths that unceremoniously end. Ending up in a 5’ unprotected bike lane feels like an old standard for cities somehow 😜 🚲@nacto.bsky.social
