@thecityofedmonton.bsky.social thinking about removing scamble crosswalks on Whyte Avenue because some people think they are slowing traffic and buses
How about removing cars first to keep people walking safe?

Why it is allowed to paint 🦓 on multi lane roads in this country?
In Germany there would be 🚶🏽🚦.
Maybe #Motonormativity is more important than the safety of active travel.

This PSA is insane! 🤯
BTW, this #carbrain message is from a county in Pennsylvania, USA
#motonormativity
It will be framed as an accident, the pedestrian blamed for being somewhere they shouldn't have been, the driver absolved & everyone will move on (except the victim, their loved ones & the killer). Rinse & repeat until we acknowledge the harms of #motonormativity www.bbc.com/future/artic...
The future of #ActiveTravel is bleak in Trinidad and Tobago! #Motonormativity is at crisis levels and there's a national aspiration towards personal car ownership! There's zero #PoliticalWill towards fixing #PublicTransit and building safe #BikeInfrastructure!

Car dependency affects us in many ways! We've crippled ourselves into believing that we're incapable of getting anywhere unless we have a motor vehicle! #Motonormativity #Crime
I've seen as long as 8 years in Trinidad and Tobago! They'll reach mortgage terms soon!🙄💰 #Motonormativity #PoliticalWill

Ist schon #Peak #Motonormativity, wenn die Stadt #Bremen aktiv gegen Gesetze verstößt und nur das absolute Minimum an Aktivitäten anfängt, nur um Autofahrende nicht in der illegalen Komfortzone zu stören.
Aber @katjadiehl.bsky.social kann die Welt auch nicht alleine retten.
Keep ranting because we all need to be ranting about speeding. Too many people walking/biking still being killed in traffic crashes by speeding drivers. #Motonormativity causes all sorts of bad driving behavior. #IntelligentSpeedAssistNow
New from Jason Salughter/Not Just Bikes on @nebula.tv : "Every Reason to Hate Cars : While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it."

I’ve always appreciated the story telling and reporting from @pjvogt.bsky.social.
The latest episode titled “The Trial of the Driverless Car” against unpack how difficult the transition away from car culture will be.
There are so many jobs and industries at risk when #Motonormativity crumbles.
Notice how nobody talks about bicycles on an island that's 21 miles long! #Motonormativity #CarBrain #EndCarDependency #MobilityIsEquity #ActiveTravel #PoliticalWill #InducedDemand

FFS! Car brained narrator fucking spoilt the segment on the build of these cargo bikes by mentioning they don't come with airbags with the fitted seat belts. It's not a fucking high speed car you #motonormativity twat!!
A solid 0km in tiny Trinidad and Tobago! No one understands why motor vehicle traffic is totally choked! 🙄

Punishing 99% of safe e-bike riders for the 1% that mostly don’t even ride legal e-bikes but e-motorbikes. We need enforcement not more regulation. That would never happen for cars. There we would just appeal to drivers to behave better. #motonormativity
I'm cycling. The motorist close behind me honks their horn, shouts 'get off the road' + expletive.
It has been a while since one of these.
Is the prospect of fuel rationing affecting petrol-heads?

Many islands of the Caribbean are very bikeable, except that too many motor vehicles with reckless drivers make it untenable! Safe bike infrastructure is mostly non-existent!

Laut IEA entfallen 45 Prozent des weltweiten Ölverbrauchs auf den Verkehr. Die Pariser Behörde plädiert daher für niedrigere Höchstgeschwindigkeiten, mehr Nutzung öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel und eine Rückkehr zum Homeoffice - ein Modell, das viele bereits aus der Corona-Zeit kennen -, um den Verbrauch zu minimieren. Ferner empfiehlt die IEA eine „wechselnde Zufahrt für Privatfahrzeuge zu Straßen in Großstädten an verschiedenen Tagen". Damit könne man Staus und den damit verbundenen Kraftstoffverbrauch verringern.
Da werden die ganzen Jochens und Sabines wieder kotzen. Jeder kann einen Beitrag leisten, auch wenn nicht jeder Homeoffice machen kann. Langfristig sollten die endlich mal anfangen ihre Abhängigkeiten zu hinterfragen. #carbrain #motonormativity

Barbados is 21 miles long! Read the comments and ask why no one sees public transit and active travel as solutions! #Motonormativity #TinyIsland

There's a crucial crosswalk outside of the Hyatt in Port of Spain which was removed because it delayed drivers by 12 seconds. People still cross there at significant risk. We've baked "hostility" into the metal box psyche! #Motonormativity
Leadership is failing in tiny Caribbean islands because of #motonormativity! Barbados is 21 miles long and can't figure out that #PublicTransport and #ActiveTravel are the keys to curing traffic and NCDs! #InducedDemand #PoliticalWill #ActiveLifestyles #EndCarDependency
Not once does this article suggest people could switch to or even be incentivised to use public transport or walk/cycle. Mind-blowing! #carbrain #motonormativity
looking down a layby with a newly tarmacked pavement and a big fucking lorry parked half on it.
The layby at Balmacara, opposite the Spar shop, was closed for about a week while the council came and built a pavement for pedestrians. Claimed already.
#Motonormativity
The typical selfish self-entitled prick of a driver spewing the typical #motonormativity bollocks! Might as well have just said 'fuck you pedestrians, us drivers are more important than you lowlifes!' 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
