Me, on a bike, on ODOT #stroads, with a couple dashed stripes of paint.
ODOT, in a street sweeper, on ODOT stroads, with a crash-attenuation barrier truck riding sweep.

We spend a lot of time covering electric vehicles - but honestly, is THIS the solution to traffic and pollution woes?
No, Not in the slightest.

lol it asked "if affordable and safe", so if anybody is having trouble affording bikes we could give them some of the like $5/mile we spend on subsidizing cars. Paint "bus and turn only" on the outside lanes of every one of our #stroads and we'll be rolling in cash almost overnight.
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

@forpeterssake @aaroncorsi @bikepedantic Some quick bus-only lane re-allocations could really tame a lot of these #stroads very easily. These streets are the sources of crashes, injury and deaths, unsafe whether you're in a car or not.
How many people are actually driving over 100 miles per day? But anyway, we can start with the people and distances that aren't difficult to shift to other modes or smaller EVs, except for car supremacy itself, just start.
Traffic planners who don't understand bicycles should not be employed by my city. #Portland is full of #15minuteNeighborhoods by bike (probably every single one by #eBikes), but you currently have to elbow your way through five-lane #stroads to reach those destinations. We're not in f'n space bro, we're in cities and #carsRuinCities, #geometryHatesCars - @bryan might learn that if he hadn't blocked me. π

#OLCV #MCAT Metro #ClimateAction Team needs you to tell your #ORpol #ORleg electeds that Urban Growth Boundaries are necessary and we're not going to #sprawl our way out of the #HousingCrisis #suburbs are not resilient, #congestion is caused by #stroads, stop the #ClimateDenial, etc.

This #StrongTowns organizing is top-notch #urbanism, getting people engaged on their zoning code, @parkingreform, understanding #InducedDemand, #TacticalUrbanism making #stroads into a #BetterBlock, #VisionZero #20isPlenty #ClimateAction #15minuteNeighborhood #bikes and #transit, shout out to @bikegridnow #BikeWayNetwork

Started wearing my wide-brimmed wizard hat in public. Not even a costume or anything, thereβs just so few #Trees and shady places on these #stroads. I prefer walking when I can, but it can be brutal in the sun.
The look on an older mechanics face when I walked by his shop though was worth it all.

I never realized the privilege I have, being born and living in Sweden. I don't own a car and can bike to work and perform all my errands within 15 minutes.
Learning about how north American cities and urban planning is done is a complete horror show to me and really opened my eyes.
I have @notjustbikes to thank for educating me.

almost got wiped out by a car (again), walking home from running errands... The driver waiting to turn onto 15th from a cross-street unrolled his window and goes "that was too close!" as a driver whipped through the crosswalk, trying to slip between 3 lanes of traffic, and I was torn between "yes, yes it was" and "just another day in the neighborhood...". 15th Ave NW through Ballard is Too Big for it's location. #stroads #ballard #seattle
Hot tip for #trafficEngineers, #stroads were known to be deadly and obsolete over a decade ago and if you still design streets by counting cars, you'll get #inducedDemand not #jobSecurity.
