The failed logics of an #armsrace mean that whoever buys a small #car is seen as either suicidal or irresponsible if children are meant to be transported as well.
States should tax the crap out of XL size and overweight cars so it gets painfully expensive to actually ride those contraptions. And cars should not be allowed to be bigger than existing parking spots and lanes.
#Roadspace needs to be shared, not hogged by those with the biggest cars. Pretty simple, actually.
Here's a fun #traffic fact:
#pedestrians do not need charging.
So you'd think it's only fair to keep #charging infrastructure for #EVs and #electriccars off the #sidewalks.
But look at many suggestions on how to implement charging stations in urban environments, and of course it's cluttering the sidewalks. Taking away even more space from pedestrians.
We need to say NO to this. We need to redistribute #roadspace to more efficient modes than motorized traffic!
