Since the province is “science basing” this. Do we have any data that supports the lanes are actually the throughput limiter? It’s almost always the intersections.

Can the province provide any data that adding a lane will improve motor vehicle traffic flow? Can the province provide any data that the car throughput increase will be more than the bicycle throughput that is lost?

Are you Chuck Mahon?

If not, it’s great to see his affect on USA traffic engineering

Good thing I’ve got a longtail, so I can fit a “Fuck Ford’s Policies” sticker.

Do they want to get to places on those cars, or do they want to get to places and cars are the only (or only practical) way?

No case yet, I was given a warning not charged.

I’ll still reach out, they’re likely tied into the right people.

Specifically I was on a two lane road on front of a Tim Hortons. Because where else would a cop be hanging out.

No set fine, it’s a court appearance; according to the cop who pulled me over.

E-bike then 🤣

I mean, that’s an option too. Bike could pay 1/8th-1/12th the amount cars do based on amount of road used.

Of course, there’s the whole problem of cars don’t fucking pay for the roads. In Ontario, vehicle registration is a whopping $32. Since the average car lifespan in Canada is around 11 years, Ontario vehicles pay less than $3 per year (less however much of the registration fee is administration and overhead)

Since bikes take up abouth 1/10th the road, they would pay $3 for registration.

I am more than happy to pay road tax by fourth power law axle weight on all my bicycles.

That’s a lot of words to say you’re the last one ;)

At the same time it could become unreasonable for individuals to research all the local ordinances they may encounter in a 20 mile trip.

It is extremely reasonable. Drivers are always responsible to learn the laws of places they drive. Are you only required to follow the law of your plate’s state/province? Is turning right on red in NYC okay if you are plated outside the city?

One of my coworkers believes bicycles cause car congestion. All car congestion, even the stuff on highways.

1. it is more impressive due to gender gap and gender inequality indexes on Ghana.

2. It makes her a positive role model for women in Ghana and other countries.

3. It’s more flavour to the story.

An electric car uses 10-20x more batteries than a PEV, the downside is cars, not EVs.

Me proofread good.

Road salt is really only effect to around -10°C anyways. Having lived places that get some fairly brutal winters, salt isn’t even that effective anyways.

Grit/sand mixtures tend to be much more effective regardless of temperature. Winter tires should be mandatory in places that require them (I’ve seen chains allowed instead of winters in some areas, but I know little about them). Maintaining some snowpack instead of a pavement clear can reduce the freeze/thaw amplification effect of pavement and other road surfaces (though that requires temps consistently below 0°).

Anyways, there are oodles of effective snow and ice clearing and management techniques that don’t require salt.

While the Nazi’s rolled out the Autobahn, it had little to no military significance. Interior movements biased trains to reduce fuel costs. And how exactly would an interior road help a blitzkrieg tactic into another country?

Choking hazard for kids under 3, but otherwise it’s fine

Car driving also needs to be less subsidised.
