It is both great that these passed and utterly damning that this is the best we could get. The last two in particular in any sane society would be ”never drive again” rather than debating how many points on a license or how long the suspension is.

That’s great it starts with an elevated train, busses bikes and fewer lanes, Christine Fréchette is not afraid.

A bull moose is running around parking lots and industrial areas surrounding Juneau’s Mendenhall River. While moose sightings are frequent in Anchorage, that’s not the case in Juneau. Photos and videos have been swirling on social media.

This is why it's critical to see cities + states pursue legislation which adds speed-limiters to extreme recidivists. Crimes of this magnitude must also entail permanent loss of license (and more) - something California's DMV fails to do given the agency's negligence: calmatters.org/series/licen...

License to Kill
An ongoing CalMatters investigation examines how the state of California routinely allows dangerous drivers with horrifying histories to continue to operate on our roads. Too often they go on to kill....

Why does OpenAI allow ChatGPT to draw these nonsense ASCII art diagrams? I’ve never seen it produce one that bears any resemblance to reality and that means I trust its answers less.

Democracy takes many forms, and giving the bus its own lane so 40 people on a bus can sail by a handful of people driving alone in private cars is one of them.

"Low-emission zones," where car traffic is restricted, save lives -- especially the lives of children. The empirical evidence is unambiguous. But every attempt to create a new one is met by hysterical opposition filled with lies, because our societies are collectively poisoned by car-brain.

London’s low emission zone is working – so why are cities around the world so cautious about clean air?
Similar initiatives have been launched from Barcelona to Bogotá, but they have misinformation, political pressure and vested interests stacked against them

Anyone know whether Sacramento’s plan to put red light cameras mostly at intersections of major stroads is the best way to protect public safety? I’d believe these are the most crash-prone intersections. Plan is for few cameras downtown and none in the inner-ring suburbs. @warrenjwells.bsky.social?

Just to draw this out, most highway expansions are justified by "saving commuters X minutes." In reality, they just induce commuters to live X minutes farther from the CBO.

"the police want you to speed" cool. don't do what the police want. drive the speed limit. leave in time to get where you need to go. you can go the speed limit. I promise and no, it's not true that I don't drive. I drive. I commute. I drive the damn speed limit.

Hurrah for a lower-than-expected Juneau jökulhlaup this year — crested at 14.7 feet, about 1.5-2 feet less than forecast, and the levees held. The city just sent out a notice. An evacuation advisory is still in effect until the water recedes. #akleg #Alaska

I have been beating this drum for years now. The throttle is not the problem! The real issues are *speed and acceleration*. Imagine two bikes: one with a throttle and a top speed of 12 mph, and the other that is pedal assist only to 40 mph. Which one would be the bigger safety issue?
