Deteriorata posted:Probably because they're easier to remove than paint. The lanes may also be narrower than usual, so they don't want people to drift. Yeah. From my understanding, highway paint is rarely used nowadays, and it's more often a vinyl or plastic chemically bonded to the road surface.

Also looks like there was another road heading south from the roundabout to what's now a parking lot, but at some point it was unpaved and replaced with planters and sidewalk.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Is there a downside to incrementally closing more roads to cars to encourage other forms of traffic like New York and Oakland have been trying? It seems like a remarkably simple idea to deal with excess vehicular traffic, and a lot cheaper than engineering roads for traffic calming measures. And as a bonus if it results in more traffic on the remaining streets that allow cars, that's just more incentive for people to us alternative transportation. Mainly NIMBYism, I think. You have to do it systematically though, considering all the road network as a whole. Because theoretically the results could be awful if the sole streets not so converted, which become arterial, aren't set up for it and connected to other high-speed roads properly.

Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:nah, over the last 25 years american cities have broadly been trying to correct car-based development patterns and infrastructure where they can. for example dallas, texas went from having basically no rail service to building out the longest light rail network in the nation. its not enough relative to new road construction but at least an attempt is being made I feel like "we're building less mass transit infrastructure than new road construction" is not exactly "trying to correct car-based development patterns"

Lobsterpillar posted:I was just at the Australasian road safety conference this week and whew, there's a lot to process. The Netherlands' famed bike-centric design was the result of them deciding exactly that 50 years ago, before which their roads and highways were basically designed the same as in the US and Australia, right?

Not Wolverine posted:According to Google, only New York, New Jersey, South Carolina and Georgia require bicycle bells. It's a cultural thing, American's enjoy plowing over pedestrians with their bicycles, it's why fat tire bikes are so popular. Aren't those mountain bikes? I believe thin tire bikes are mainly for road use though, yeah. But I've never commuted on a bike since I was in New Zealand, partly because since then I've mainly worked remote jobs, so probably half the time I've ridden a bike has been on trails and in parks.
