#budapest is a fascinating city, architecturally diverse and with a good #public transport system. Despite this it has been sacrificed on the alter of the Almighty #automobilmafia . All you can hear on the heights of Buda is the roar of traffic. The banks of the Duna / Danube are given over to two lanes of traffic. Such an act of self-mutilation. #autodiktatur #carfreecities

People Hate the Idea of Car-Free Cities—Until They Live in One: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/car-free-cities-opposition
Removing cars from urban areas means lower carbon emissions, less air pollution, and fewer road traffic accidents. So why are residents so resistant? Un interessante articolo dall'edizione inglese di Wired di qualche mese fa #MobilitàSostenibile #CarFreeCities @ambiente @rivoluzioneurbanamobilita @informapirata

hate the US because of this example (should I mention fucking trucks everyone drives instead of compact cars or public transport or stupid 2nd amendment!?)

Traffic engineers are very, very, very good at killing people. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/more-people-died-in-car-crashes-this-century-than-in-both-world-wars/2019/07/21/0ecc0006-3f54-11e9-9361-301ffb5bd5e6_story.html

Nothing says colonial late capitalist militarism like Biden promoting a “luxury assault vehicle.”

When someone dies in a car accident, it's hard for me not to politicize it. The world needs to be sensitized to how avoidable this all is.

How can we make it more feasible for distributors to rely less on large trucks for delivery? I get that one driver in one tractor-trailer is probably more financially viable than several drivers in smaller vans or cargo bikes, but semis just don't work well in cities. #urbanism #bancars #carfreecities #safestreets

Parool van vandaag (2023 I 3): "Ondernemers zijn klaar met ‘Bijenkorffile’ en pleiten voor inrijverbod"
*English summary*: Amsterdam shops and business have had it with the regular tailback to a department store's parking garage (a feature for 25+ years), right in the heart of the old town, and want non-necessary car traffic banned from the inner city.

Over to you @notjustbikes and @BrentToderian 😃 #carfreecities

Happy new year Mastodon! I too am new here & believe it is protocol to do an #introductionpost. I’m part of the #TwitterMigration (@crisortunity there too). I’m fundamentally a #climatechange campaigner, by inclination since c.2005 & profession since 2009. I co-direct climate action charity www.wearepossible.org , solar railways enterprise www.ridingsunbeams.org & think tank www.newweather.org . Came up with the #FrequentFlyerLevy & #TrumpBaby. ❤️ #innovation #CarfreeCities #CommunityEnergy

And last night was #DateNight in our suburb so we decided to #ScootScoot downtown to meet new friends for dinner. #CarFreeCareFree #AlternativeTransportation #CarFreeCities #Biking (kind of)

"If your car was a tent, you would be criticized for taking up too much space and even occupying public space illegally. This shows that car parking hides an injustice: why not put trees, benches, a wide sidewalk there?"

i finally visited the new park at 5m

the walkway is really nice (we definitely need more car-free spaces! +bollards)

as well as the street leading to to it. it's a narrow width and drivers naturally slow down. that's good traffic calming

big ups to the designers! #SanFrancisco #transportation #landscapearchitecture #CarfreeCities #CarFreeZones

Just watch a teenaged driver blast through a stop sign on Lake Street, windows down and blaring “Highway to Hell”. Fuck. It certainly feels that way today after the Senate’s decision to force an anti-worker rail contract and SF’s vote to deploy weaponized robots on our streets. We must fight back. #CarFreeCities #RailStrike #PoliceState

Here's my complete Car Master Plan for downtown Portland, Oregon USA.

Cities need to plan for cars in cities, instead of planning cities for cars.
