two vehicles, each having been allocated some specific amount of street space by #trafficEngineers
one costs us all about five bucks per mile and the other one pays more than their fair share in taxes
one of these two people is engaged in commerce and the other is just fucking around

#Portland schools suffering the ineptitude of ted wheeler, episode 5693: sending 600 high-schoolers 11 miles (a 1hr bus ride) across town because the [checks notes...] SCHOOL building across the street has a different specific designation in the zoning database. Hello #transportation #policyFailure, #BusDriverShortage, #pdxTraffic good luck with that extra 500 cars on the road, apologies to 100 future inmates etc.

40% of people in #Portland cannot drive.
The rest just suck at it.
Happy Friday! #pdxTraffic
I found it, the root source of all #pdxTraffic is hwy 43, and every free parking spot in Lake Oswego. #BanCars #NoMoreFreeways #ODOTGTFOpdx #CarFreeTerwilliger

survey says people in #Portland would rather sit on #transit & read than be #drivers. #pdxBikes and #eBikes seem popular, must be time to paint "bus and turn only" on the outside lanes of our #stroads and let's get out of #pdxTraffic + do a solid #ClimateAction, plus besides: #CarsRuinCities #GeometryHatesCars, the future of #transportation is kids biking themselves to school or joining a #BikeBus, make #SchoolStreets, #BusLanes, & #EdgeLaneRoads / #AdvisoryBikeLanes, out of existing car lanes

#seeYouAtTheNextLight NE 33rd and Prescott where's the bike lane? Did I leave my phone's googlemaps in car directions oh lol I think I did. #pdxBikes #Portland #drivers you get the #pdxTraffic you build for. Let's do #ClimateAction and pull that #InducedDemand lever for fewer stinky cars and more people on bikes.

@Bman ONE WOULD THINK SO, but you're talking about an "orphan state highway" where people in #Portland are being killed with #pdxTraffic, by #ODOT #trafficEngineers (who just spent $3M in "safety money" reconfiguring an onramp about a mile back rather than a #BusLaneRoadDiet from downtown to Tigard) #BarburBlvd
#portland #pdxtraffic #odot #trafficengineers #buslaneroaddiet #barburblvd
Much of the problem with Naito, is that the traffic signal cycles are trying to favor freeway traffic in/out of downtown, which is just #InducedDemand for more #pdxTraffic. It's like your city is expanding a freeway without building any new lanes, just opening all of #Portland to anyone with a car to drive through, with at least 50 thruway options for any trip, racking up a debt of crumbling surface streets and running people who bike off of the road while delaying the bus.

"the most effective immediate intervention is enforcement, penalties and public awareness regarding breaking traffic laws."
"#trafficEngineers and #VisionZero team have been out to assess... reconstruction of the corridor would be... $50 million"
No need to reconstruct it, just do #busLanes. WTF is wrong with this profession?

another day, another chance for ted wheeler to prove that he's an idiot and #reaganomics is a failed ideology #Portland #pdx #pdxTraffic
#reaganomics #portland #pdx #pdxtraffic
So what is going on here, is that the straight flat used-to-be-a-train grade and all of the available right-of-way space on it, is used up by the state highway department to maximize the number of cars sitting at a red light or waiting in line to reach the next bottleneck. In this case, it's the Ross Island Bridge over one mile away. π€£ 5:30pm every damn weekday like this #pdxTraffic #pdxBikes. #TrafficProtectedBikeLane

Well the #trafficEngineers maintaining this #stroad in SW #Portland have another #pdxTraffic victim #ODOTGTFOpdx #BarburBlvd coulda been safe yesterday or whenever #ODOT will finally acknowledge that five lanes of speeding cars and free left turns everywhere is why people keep getting killed with cars here. #VisionZero #InducedDemand

#Portland #pdx has been breaking-in a fresh new #pdxTraffic commissioner (with no bureau director for 6 months...), and Mingus Mapps seems to still be focused on the stack of boondoggle carway projects #PBOT has put in front of him. Seems to think that the members of the Bike + Pedestrian Advisory Committees are here to lobby for more funding for the bureau of traffic to continue the status quo of maintaining the whole transportation system for #cars1stAlwaysOnly. Drivers feeling the $30M cut?
