$30M design for some #BusLanes on #e82ndAve π #trafficEngineers, can we just give the kids some red paint?
The problem with self-driving cars isn't letting a computer drive a car so much as it is letting billionaires drive your government. #trafficEngineers who let the manuals make the decisions might as well let cars design the city.

#tacticalUrbanism popup #roundabouts -- when people come together in public space outside of their cars, we see the same patterns over and over. Why is this completely unlike the #SafeStreets projects proposed by #trafficEngineers? (& [β¦]
#trafficEngineers won't rest until the earth is a smoking husk, still holding the delusion that drivers would ever learn to zipper-merge or think ahead and cooperate in the most basic kindergarten way.
One could probably take the sidewalk going the other way, but more slowly and/or at more risk of drivers pulling in and out without expecting. Would be nice if #trafficEngineers had some infrastructure ideas besides painting a bike lane between two truck lanes. #BarburBlvd #odotGTFOpdx

Nobody being held accountable for driver behavior and no #trafficEngineers being held accountable for the infrastructure relying on behavior instead of being made safe by-design. #zeroVision #DriverAccountability
A "no right turn" sign, laying on the ground, wooden post broken off.
Where it was, unclear how a driver going the right way could have broken it in that direction.

I hope they find the #trafficEngineers who did this. #DivergingDiamond #fuckCars #SendThickerPosts

#trafficEngineers need to have teenagers drive through their designs in a simulator or something. This parking lane before Salmon is a left-turn-only lane on the next block, and they want people on bikes to stand there in an unprotected green box between those two car-parking/driving spaces [β¦]
20 mph car hitting a pedestrian is fatal 10% of the time 80% of 40mph collisions are fatal for the pedestrian https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORPORTLAND/bulletins/172b6ac
"2022... project lowered the speed limit (from 35 and 40 mph to 30 mph) removed one of the general travel lanes and added buffered bike lanes in each direction. Unfortunately PBOT did not install any physical protection"

#trafficEngineers are perplexed at why this driver didn't follow the rules, signs, paint... bikeportland.org/2025/10/01/riders-accoun...
I'm not sure whether to be more concerned that they can't keep a 7ft car in a 10ft lane or if they intentionally only almost hit my elbow. Truck too big for your britches? GTFO. π also #trafficEngineers, this is what drivers are.
"If there's no one entity who is ultimately responsible for road safety." ahem [#trafficEngineers]
#trafficEngineers like to say safety comes first, but they mean the crosswalk signal makes walking illegal after a few seconds while the green light stays on for several more seconds, partly because the street has been made twice as wide as necessary, "for safety". They're just ensuring car [β¦]

#DriverAccountability OR 549PXD, OR 044PRQ 45+ in a 30mph zone, probably need some accountability for #trafficEngineers and elected officials here too
βOregon would be dedicating funding to safer streets while at the same time outlawing the changes on the ground that are needed to make those streets safe.β even ODOT #trafficEngineers are already to the left of this Jarvis-brained nonsense, and the widest legal vehicle is just over 8ft without [β¦]
No amount of pedestrians standing in the hot sun can satisfy a highway #trafficEngineers' traffic model while zero cars go by for half of the time. People are just crossing because standing there to cook vs judging the risk for themselves, obvs. #stroads #FuckCars #BanCars #ClimateCrisis [β¦]
