Downtown Jenks tests new look with 10-day pilot project Downtown Jenks is getting a temporary makeover that city leaders say could shape its long-term future. The City of Jenks launched a 10-day pilot project called Re-imagine Main Street: Block by Block, closing select parking spaces along Main Street between First and Second streets and replacing them…

Viele Straßen sind überdimensioniert und können rückgebaut werden, wie zB die B189 bei Obsteig in #Tirol. Die überbreite Fahrbahn wurde verschlankt, Platz für Geh- und Radwege geschaffen, das Tempo des Kfz-Verkehrs reduziert, die #Verkehrssicherheit erhöht vcoe.at/news/details... #roaddiet

Schnee macht den tatsächlichen Platzbedarf fürs Fahren gut sichtbar. Das Potenzial für breitere Gehsteige und mehr Grün im Straßenraum ist groß. #sneckdown #roaddiet

I’m amazed at how quickly asphalt chunks can just be removed, all in one morning. Hopefully it will be filled with something green & chirping with insects again come summer. Or maybe it’ll be a new swale, since this area used to be a creek. 🤩 Will post a final pic! #roaddiet #NewHaven #safestreets

What a “road diet” and renovating for safe, pedestrian and cyclist friendly streets looks like… with Willie Wright’s “Right on for Darkness”’ as soundtrack 😀🎶🎸 #roaddiet #safestreets #NewHaven #righton

10/13/25 State College Borough Council Work Session

If you'd like to see Council's full comments on this road diet you can watch the recording on C-NET. I hope we can agree on pushing for safety on Atherton because right now this sectoon is dangerous for everyone, even for those inside of cars.

New concrete bumpouts will stop drivers from flying past everyone, by using the “third lane.” That kind of driving can absolutely kill a person. #pulaskislowTFdown #transit #southpulaski #roaddiet

Buffered bike lane replaced a travel lane on a 2 lane road. Pedestrian hybrid beacon at crosswalk. Hyundai hatchback driving in bike lane

Wide buffered bike lane takes place of secondary travel lane in Woburn on Route 3

New #RoadDiet in Woburn/Winchester on Route 3. Going,,, pretty well? Minus a few drivers who don’t know what’s going on.

Hey #bikesky, #goodnews esp. for #bikecommuting in #Boulder #Colorado! The City - very #carbrained but improving on #cycling - approved a #roaddiet for a shitty 4-lane #stroad (w/ non-legal 'bike lane' paint). Soon to be a 2-lane + #bikelane + #transit road. Major improvement so desperately needed!

For the past couple of months my work has taken me to the same location in Scarborough weekly. And this little vintage Mini is always parked in the same spot, rain or shine.

Meaning its someones daily beater to get them to work. And Im all about it.

We need more small cars.

Two pick up trucks. Same sized truck bed, but a massive difference in vehicle size.

One is a Mini Cooper and the other a Wankpanzer.

Trump’s transportation officials buck a long-held practice of using ‘road diets’ to slow speeders

Not many posts from me lately, as it's very clear that the Trump regime is going to be as anti-bike and as pro-oil and gas as they possibly can be. But here's a little article just to make sure […]

This road urgently needs a #roaddiet
