This was inevitable - make cheap scooters available, without enforcing safe parking requirements, and companies who really don't give a shit about their scooters co-existing safely with other street users, leads to a mess.

Which is a pity, because in comparison to cars, these scooters were an improvement.

How would you make this street better for biking & walking? Capt Bertie’s Way is a short 20 MPH street with residences and an entrance to a major town parking lot at the end. There’s a planned shared use path to connect a new housing development (highlighted parcel). Thoughts? #BikeTooter #UrbanPlanning #SafeStreets #sidewalk #bikelane #UrbanDesign #streets #CompleteStreets

@bodhipaksa thanks for posting and adding the alt-text to
the car tent image.
I found an article, Occupy Parking Spots: 15 Projects Reclaiming the Streets,

about that tent and some other reuse ideas for car parking spots.

The federal government is in the final stages of updating MUTCD....Here are the key changes we’ll be looking out for." https://nacto.org/2023/08/14/reshape-the-mutcd/

Have been in #Amsterdam for the past three days and wow - it is officially my favourite city I have ever been to! It's a city optimised for people, and it's so quiet. I want to move here. #urbanism #cycling #streets #holiday

Big #greenwashing #artwashing attempt incoming...

To make it clear to the #international audience:

The head of the #german lobbygroup "Verband der #Automobilindustrie" #VDA is laughing about you... First he and his industry blocked every #climate friendly legislation attempts at #EU and at #world scale and his industry betrayed millions of customers with #dirty #cars marketed as #clean... #diesel-#scandal. They after this only build expansive, big electro-#SUV for rich people, to destroy the world even faster.

Now the head of the #car #lobby group is amused about the #greenwashing-#deal that #vegan #NataliePortman is announced to talk at the #IAA "internationale #automobil ausstellung", the notorious pro-car, pro-#SUV, #climate destroying, savety denying and public transport blocking motorshow in #munich.

Again the show and it's lobbygroups are trying to give their world-destroying, resource-hungry industry a new, #green look...

"Quote from Jürgen #Mindel, Managing Director at #VDA: “Natalie Portman’s attendance shows that there is a broad interest within society in topics related to #climate-friendly, #digital #mobility. She’s a person who has often proved that a lot can be achieved in society with composure and tenacity. I’m looking forward to seeing her on the Main Stage.”

If you want to laugh about the shitty #marketing attempt, read the other produced statements on this #bullshit-site: https://www.iaa-mobility.com/en/press/press-releases/natalie-portman-iaa-mobility-2023

So we are looking forward that #responsible #stars and other "opinion #leaders" speak out on the #streets at #protests, against #earth destroying western #economy
Stop #greenwashing! #NoIAA!

re: https://twitter.com/19th_c_Houston/status/1688528587626860544?s=20

If we're asking, "Do we have so many pickup trucks because consumers wanted pickup trucks — or because car companies wanted to sell them?"

I think we'd find it's mostly because companies wanted to sell pickup trucks. Advertising, product placement, pricing, promotions all shape consumer preferences.

Also, car companies can only offer cheap trucks by skirting regulations. This is why the oversized truck Mike drives in LA is regulated less than every other car driving to pickup coffee in the morning.
